I put ...

Hi there, If you want to send the legs back ill remove the fan for you free if you pay shipping both ways. In the last year ive reduced my knee and elbow joints in size quite a bit and my cuisses are more steamlined in case you wanted a new set with no fans. Good luck on your quest. Take care Pitbull
