I have forwards, and every now and again I lean the Glide over enough to hit the wear bolts on the bottoms of my Kury switchblades. Passengers hate it!

I've also learned that when I pull out of my development, into the left turn, I have to hit second early in the turn, or wait till I straighten out. I've discovered with the heel hammer I need a certain amount of clearance to upshift.
