    Currently selling my Flex, just wondering if anyone know much about the new rupes sytems.
    Just wondering if i have to buy all new sized pads for it or if either of the systems would be able to accommodate the 5.5" pads i have currently

    You can use them on the 15s backing plate not the 21.

    You have a couple options. One is to get a 5" backing plate with the LHR 21 or get the LHR 15. Whichever you choose, add the washer mod!! If you don't know what it is, just google it. It's not hard to do and it increases the performance of the machine greatly.
