That was a fair bit more than 8 inches BTW! The XT footpegs are 13.5 inches of the deck and the front wheel and tyre on both bikes is 27 inches in diameter.

I was going to walk back through it to get to you, but decided to go round the bank as I wasn't sure I wouldn't swamp my aqua boots in the water. With your foot flat on the floor measure 8 inches from your heel and that's about as about as deep as an ankle sock is high.
