Where can I find more info about the fastaway pegs? I'm leaning towards PowerPegz but I'd like to learn as many options as possible.

Thanks! :)

I'm also considering getting the Powerpegz, but for a different reason, my ankle has been torn up from sprains ( torn ligements ect) and mobility is somewhat limited, plus Old age might have something to do with it..lol
