I've done similar mods to my Quickie Ti for off-roading: bigger soft-roll casters, 24x2" knobbys, etc. The Ti, like the GPV, is quite easy to adjust and I'm fortunate to have two sets of wheels, so it's easy to convert from off-road to on-road for weekend and everyday use. My friend and I do hiking trails with our chairs setup like this. It's hard work, but a blast! I'm in-process of ordering a TiLite. As soon as it gets here, I'm going radical with mods on the Quickie for pushing trails! Nice job on the ‘chair mods!

Just popping in to say I can't thank you enough for all the wheelchair posts. Were it not for this site, I wouldn't have had the first idea where to start. I'm planning on breaking MY wheelchair cherry with a pretty major purchase, so yeah... thanks again! That’s lovely.
