The new Oracing XTR

[Wills77]

That looks sweet. Have you weighed it? Are those brakes lighter than the standard tilite push to lock? I have them now and hate them and just emailed tilite for a price on the style you have.

Agree. Got new-and-improved Composite Scissor Locks on my recent ZR at the insistence of Jimbo @ Sportaid. Available for 1 & 1.25" frames ,they sit well below and aft of the frame curve and allow a 100% clean frame grab, snap tight and spring free with the flick of a finger and so far, there's been no shift in 'set' or locking pressure.

Good stuff. Glad I got 'em instead of push-pulls.

Do it!

$87.50 on the Sportaid ZR order form. Not shown on their 'wheel brake' aftermarket page, but I suspect they can order them.

As you can see, this time there is not much colours with anodized hubs, special wheels, colored spokes, etc. probably is because i`m getting older lol.

BTW, the brakes are excellents, i think are the same model that Tilite have like an option, order your tilites with them, you will not regreat.

The rear wheels are Spinergys Spox sport, difference is that std spox have 18 spokes, this ones have 24.

Great. Clean and nice. 0 camber ?
Why not single fork ?

Very nice, Antonio. How tall is the back rest measured from the sling?

I was wondering how long it would take for you to discover the composite brakes. They are really the simplest lightest things out there.. If I never switched to hub locks I would run those just because they are so easy to engage.

And I love the XTR-2. Masterfully done. So glad you and Oracing got together and designed these box frame chairs, I can't imagine sitting in anything else. My XTR will be under me a long long time.

How do you like the profiled sideguards? I love this style because I can use them to sit on for extra-high transfers into ridiculous hotel beds when travelling. Also my new place has stacked washer/dryer for laundry with the controls at the top and when my hands are tired I can sit on the sideguard/tire to reach and operate the controls easier. I know you have alot more mobility than me, so what was the reason you switched sideguard shape?

quickie has those brakes, I have them on my Q7. I believe sci_otr used to purchase them from quickie to install on tilite chairs before tilite started carrying them.

no 0 camber, look at the camber tube well and you could see it a bit bend in the center, but i`ve got just 1.5º camber.

Why not single forks? i don`t know really, i had them in the past, and maybe because they are better and the two weight like one of a single.
