Consequently, I find myself taking them and/or the peanut shell off once or twice a week about 9 months out of the year (the timeframe that the kids are on the back for the longer rides in which the peanut shell is the most valuable) to maximize the versatility of the yuba. With practice, you can get the peanut shell on or off in about 10 minutes, but it is still kind of a pain.
