im 5'6 and i just had to use 1 foot when i came to a stop.
i also had my seat modified, shaved about a 1/2" off to drop my seating position so that helped.

How did you shave your seat, top or bottom section? Do you have any pictures?

5'4" First set your SAG front and rear. If you get into shaving the seat, not only take some off the top but narrow the nose.
