Does anyone know how I can get 4" casters to work on my Quickie GP wheelchair without making the front so low to the ground that its hard to pop a wheelie?
I have the seat as low as it can go, but I still am having trouble getting smaller casters to work on this chair. I have 6" casters on it right now, and would like to get down to a 4" caster, so I can get the Quickie lighted casters.

You'll need to get longer forks, or smaller rear wheels.

Forks are much cheaper! Sportaid has some that might work.

i think ive seen 5" lightup casters somewhere........that would be less of a jump.

I believe Eagle Sportschairs has the light up wheels in other sizes other than the 4 inch ones.
