Re: [QUAD-L] Air in tires
Not with my back it wouldn't. I've got wicked bad scoliosis. June 12th I have an appointment to see an Orthopic surgeon because the scoliosis is so bad that it's starting to push my hip out. So much so that I can feel my hip bone poking out on my left side about 1/4" from the surface of my skin. Anybody else having problems like this?

Re: [QUAD-L] Air in tires
Within the last 12 months, the tire industry using a new generation of foam/soft rubber tire for casters and wheels. This provides a softer ride. Best Wishes In a message dated 5/30/2015 9:24:15 P.M.

Re: [QUAD-L] Air in tires
I use a commercial inflator. It has a long chrome stem with top and bottom air outlets. Also you can go to the Auto Zone, Murray, Advance and several other suppliers for "tube extenders" and attach them to your tire tubes. They may be plastic, but they work great.

Re: [QUAD-L] Air in tires
I sure wish we all could go to Kessler clinic too! I'm so happy that y ou love yo ur new chair! Lindaf - Original Message - From: "Gmail" To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 10:01:09 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] Air in tires Dose anybody have air in their tires? I got air in my "main" center mid-wheel drive chair. But a friend of mine, Lori Michaelson, has air in the small tires as well. I'm going back to Kessler Thursday for a "follow-up" appointment with the 2 people, a PT & my supplier, who ordered this chair. I've been using this new chair a week now and it is hands down the absolute BEST chair I've ever been in and this is my 7th chair in 40 years. It's like the chair was made just for me - LOL I wish all of you could go through Kessler wheelchair clinic. Bobbie Smile Everyday
