It`s a spanish saying, it`s: más vale malo conocido que bueno por conocer.

So i did a search i google but i`m not sure if the translate is correct, probably no.

I was refered when i said: keep with them, keep with Tilite because he know them.... so it`s better something that you know that something that you don`t, so it`s something like that the saying, but not exactly.

I experiments with new devils, but always the devils have the same name.

So as you can see i use the saying

If he love Tilites, he dosen`t have to be wondering if out there is something better, still with Tilite.


Probably know i have expressed better lol.

It translates well. They were just teasing you because you always like to try new things.

Yes, but things of the same brand, so if he have tried Tilite, a ZRA and a TR and he love them, the most reasonable is go now for the new TR3.

Why change if you love the brand?

TR3 is available with rear-wheel, neoprene-compression suspension.

I have no experience with wheelchair suspension systems, but my impression is that bicycle-type shock absorber is noticeably superior to neoprene compression (but I really don't know).

TiLite uses Frog Legs' elastomers. Shocks are superior for sure.

Our spines are messed up enough without muscular support below the level of injury. I'm happy to let the shock on my Icon absorb/minimize some of the forces that transfer through the chair with daily use. Suspension might not be necessary, but it certainly has benefits.
