No, 6" or 5" pads. The Bigfoot 21 has 21mm of RO travel. You can correct bad paint nearly half the time it takes a normal RO.

WARNING: Street Racing Kill Post

( Click to show/hide )
Went for a run today and a 300lb woman on a mobility chair coming out of a side street turned the corner in front of me and cut me off.
I pulled up alongside and gave her the "oh really?" look. She threw me the stink eye and it was on. This chair was a sleeper.... man did it have some legs on it!
I could barely keep up with her when the road started going down hill and then the next thing I knew, she was putting chair lengths on me like nobody's business.

Until we meet again, granny. Next time, we race uphill.

Just finished installing my new dryer

I didn't actually short out the plug earlier, so I was very relieved when I plugged in the new dryer and it turned on and played a tune

90 degree stairs suck though... I have an appliance dolly that I had to abandon halfway up the stairs cause I couldn't rotate it on the landing. I thought I was going to have to move the washing machine out of the laundry room to fit the dryer first, but taking laundry room door off the hinges wound up be significantly easier. Now I get to go back to the office all sweaty and nasty

( Click to show/hide )
Got the old one downstairs and the new one unloaded from the car


Here's the landing where the stairs turn, which is about the size of the box the dryer came in - oh and my helper, who was more hindrance than help


And here it is at the top of the stairs after having to abandon the appliance dolly


And final result installed

This is another reason why stairs suck.

Also, why have that equipment up stairs? I guess it's more convenient, but not when something breaks and you have to replace it!



I can't have a two-story house though, so I won't have to worry about that ever.
