If you've done your job properly and created and trained your client base to call at the proper frequency, this is all you should ever need...
The ultimate pre-scrubber for veteran carpet cleaners

What's the prescription?
Take one rake in the morning with a dose of prespray every 6 months?
It looks like your boots did all the work.

or, best for the act of breaking surface tension on pile carpet maintained by tidy, and well trained house keepers
Rakes went out with 70's shag.
A good nap brush imo works better at working in prespray and final grooming than a rake will.

Dude, I saw that bike. I know there's some sentimental connection, but that looks like torment riding that antique

My "10 speed"?
"we" rode this style bike for many decades before carbon frames with sloped top tubes and long seats posts provided flex and (some ) comfort.
It remains to be seen if a carbon fork is all that, but I don't expect the new bike to be any more or less painful.
Cycling is pain, if you really ride.
A few laps around the city park or pump track is not cycling imo.
Butt, I have finally decided to deal with numbness of my marty...

I like that seat but I also love shooting downhill at high speeds dialed in with the berms and jumps and those older design bikes are too out of balance with the weight being too top heavy (dangerous) with a higher chance of a bad wreck

Nice to see you riding Mike! Great exercise, fresh air, and it's fun (till you crash).
I've been into bikes all my life. Was into BMX as a kid, and then road racing briefly. Worked in a few bike shops, including a couple of pro racing shops as a teen. My favorite bike shop gig was for the importer of Coppi bikes from Italy. Got back into road biking with Nancy about 20 years ago.
In 2017 we also got into mountain biking. And before you guys say ... yeah mountain biking in Florida??? You'd be amazed at what old abandoned phosphate mines have been transformed into.

I think Florida is the one place where the term "gravel biking" actually makes more sense than "mountain" biking..

You might think that. Yet mountain bikers who come from "real mountain biking states" like Colorado & Utah frequently comment that our trails are amazing. https://stokedmtb.com/alafia-river-state-park-mountain-bike-trails/

You have a point. It's not mountains. We don't have to pedal uphill for 30 minutes to ride down for 5.
It's more like a roller coaster... up-down-up-down.
In fact one of the trails is named Roller Coaster.

Pole length (including steel bracket) is 57". The rake or brush adds roughly an extra 4".
