Default So much room for activities!

Today was the day for some comfort upgrades to the glide.

Added a LePera Maverick DLL and a set of 20 3/4" CycleSmith Banana Boards.

What a night and day difference! No longer any feeling of being cramped and the boards give at least 3 solid foot positions. Feels like a set of mids, a set of regular boards, and a set of forwards all wrapped into one.

And as a happy little accident bonus they match my Get-a-Grips perfectly!

If anyone is on the fence about either of these items they get a big yes vote from me.

Very interesting on the floor boards. Curious if they will scrape earlier in turns.

I have heard that they will, and would certainly understand if they did. The official take from CycleSmith however is that they actually increase lean angle. Time will tell.

How you think they would work for a short inseam fella like me? I’m worried putting feet down inbetween front and rear boards may be a problem.

Definitely clicked on this for the step brothers reference. Surprised no one made a comment about putting their nuts on your drum set.
