I know that feelin' Flash, but I would never admit to being lazy, so I just say that I don't like to work any harder that I absolutely have to.

I had the same issue with my Ligthbridge 16", however, I solved that problem of putting lockable wheels on it, and they work well.

Recently selling my ED80, has started a trend though, as I now may part with this one too. A move may be imminent.

Cheers Pete

I did the same thing with my 16" dob with added wheels. It was a success in that I could easily wheel it out by myself but also found that the damping time was longer for vibrations to settle.

I really like Barry's truss. I should redo mine into something like that.
