The answer for chair repairs is to have a backup chair ready to go. I have two
J2 gel cushions also. If you are in a manual chair this is an easier task than
a power. I use a manual daily but have an additional manual chair as well as a
power on standby. I get parts on ebay and from Sportaid.......use a vendor only
when i have to. I always keep a new set of casters, seatbelt, bearings, cushion
covers, brakes and anything that goes bad on hand. A bike shop will do some
repairs for you. Also the chair you choose has alot to do with its durability.
Ive got a manual Quickie 2 and the thing is bulletproof. I know the chair like
an old friend and can replace a part long b4 it goes bad just by knowing the
chair.
