Re: foot pegs - or no pegs?

thanks for the info guys - i thought i was the only weird one that didn't like them or use them.
i have removed the bottom half of the foot pegs, so i can tuck my toes under them in both of my OC1's now.
take care,

Re: Newbie from the North Woods

good stuff dan,
add some hip pads, they are more like thigh pads and you should be real snug.

Re: foot pegs - or no pegs?

im thinking of even altering the foot pegs to make it easier to get my toes under them.
i will also add some mini-cell to make the setup more comfy.

Re: replace T-grip

replacing t-grips is pretty easy. i have cut off the plastic handles off of my werner paddles, because i hate them. i bought a bunch of wood bracia t-grips and altered them to fit my hand better and glued them onto the werner paddles. all you need is a t-grip, a hacksaw, and some resin. you might ha...

C1 Concordia????

Guys, Just wanted to say that I am so excited to be back after a 5 year hiatus. The first time I ever sat in a c1 was the concordia, I'm almost positive it was in '99 and was on the patomac. I was in grad school at the time. Anyone remember? Luckily, i have repented of my evil ways!! I have been bac...
