Oops, slipped off the peg!

Boot slipped off peg entering turn #4
Ah those embarrassing moments! I'm sure that I'm not the only rider to do this when leaning in but maybe I'm the only one stupid enough to blog about it.  I'm not a short woman but I'm 5'7" and that's not tall.  Getting my peg height comfortable is a real challenge for me, I've asked folks how they measure control settings for the optimal adjustments and I've been really surprised that none have really seemed to have had a plan.  Even pro racers that I really admire look at me like I've got 3 heads.  Maybe I just need another few hundred hours of saddle time and maybe I just don't want to settle for not quite feeling comfortable when I'm trying to go as fast as my fortitude will allow.

How to you decide how to set your controls.  All of them, peg height, shifter travel, bar angle?  Come one, fill me in!
