I use my Tilites only and put my Kenda offroad tires on during hunting and camping trips. The knobby tires make a big difference. I'm not a big fan of the Quickie chairs but i loan them out often to people who have surgeries or new patients that i work with during their long waits for their chair orders after rehab. They are always sent home with heavy crappy loaners so sometimes my Quickie is lighter and more efficient for them. I personally only use Tilite for the last 7 or 8 years.
I'm using a TiLite ZRA, bare titanium (paint doesn't stick to titanium, so didn't try to get color!), 25" Spinergy LX with black spokes, 0 camber, Invacare Matrix hard back, inverted footplate (had pressure sores on heels), removable armrests (for pressure relief moves) and side guards.
If anyone has a black 0-degree TiLite camber tube for a 16" wide chair and would like to trade for a black 4-degree Tilite camber that has never been used, please PM me! My chair came with both this 4-degree and a very heavy 0-degree that was bought to use with E-motion wheels by the original owner of the chair, and he only used the second one. I want the narrowest profile possible, so decided to use the heavier camber tube.
wavewolf, my titanium chair has a matte black paint job all around!
I have a black 4-degree camber tube that I use as well. I think I'd like to go down to 2-degrees next time so it won't be so wide.
DJ, matte black is very cool! My favorite look is TR-Black Edition, but cost--whew! I would mess up any paint by crashing into things, dropping my chair as I lift it off porch (house not accessible), etc. About camber, I find I can gain a longer stroke with 0-degree, no torque on shoulders. And I don't go fast enough to notice difference in balance/stability between 0- and 4-degrees. (Although I'm a lot faster in chair than with canes and braces!)

The black edition is definitely a nice chair wavewolf but yeah the price isn't too nice.
Hmm, maybe I'd benefit from lesser camber as well! I just like the extra stability it gives me when leaning to the side on a slanted surface or when making quick turns.
