I’ve done that but I never liked the lack of options for foot position. You either have your feet tucked back on the foot pegs or they’re hanging. Neither were optimal for me (maybe partly because I’m tall and having my feet on the pegs felt like i was “tuck g up”.

I know what you mean, having had to use those chairs myself, but a less than ideal chair is a less than ideal chair.

I only had to use the 'bad' chair because the good ones - with a proper foot rest - had been snagged.
