I bet the spox is better.

I am looking forward to seeing your new chair.

I'm looking forward to you seeing it, too! Or at least to getting coffee together again. Wish school starting wasn't keeping me so busy.

Haven't heard back yet from Sportaid. Hopefully I'll hear on Monday. (fingers crossed)

I have emailed my Wheelchair Shop and TiLite to see if that can be added to my ZRA.

The fact that titanium axles are not an option suggests that they have a different bearing spacing than a Spinergy. If this is true, the wheel can be mounted closer since there would be more clearance between the spokes and the frame.

The hub is narrower than the Spinergy but the bearing spacing is larger.

I'm curious to know if anyone around here is using the Golz Twin-Star Exchange wheels (pictured in the first post) and what they think of them.

I should get my Tr3 soon, I ordered it with the Twin Star wheels.

What's your latest take on the Topolinos?

I've been using them for a while. The only thing is they are harder to grab when loading/unloading in a car after using a wheel with less spokes. They are still tight and no squeeks.
Jeff Adams had them on his Icon for a while, but I think he switched for the same reason in regards to the fact it is easier to grab a wheel with low spoke count.

A teammate (C5 quad) of mine got them on his new ZR about 3 months ago. 25" with SpeedRun's they feel lighter than a Spinergy LX. We like them, he has no hand or tricep function yet transfers into and drives a sports car and beat the shit out of them removing them from the chair each time. Cool wheels, although for whatever reason when he picked the chair up from the vendor it had axles on it that were an inch too long, the quad releases were catching on everything. The dme blamed TiLite, but I somehow doubt it left the factory that way. I replaced his axles with inventory I had and he's good to go. The hubs make it possible to run an incredibly small wheel spacing (to the back posts), dunno if the chair was built on purpose that way for the wheels or just on a Friday afternoon.

Try them. I can't wait to see what SureLocks comes up with for use on the unique hub.
