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.
