FAQ
How to select the pushrim for my wheel?
For your personal needs, you should consider:
- Grip ability: Tetraplegic or low-grip users benefit from ergonomic shapes with wider contact surfaces and anti-slip coatings (e.g., silicone inserts).
- Environment: Off-road driving requires higher rim clearance, whereas contact sports demand heavy-duty, impact-resistant steel.
- Material & Weight: Choose aluminium or magnesium for lightweight daily mobility, titanium for top durability and all-weather grip, or steel for maximum impact resistance.

How does a coated aluminium pushrim reduce hand fatigue?
The durable non-slip coating increases friction between your hand and the rim:
- Less Grip Force Required: You need significantly less finger and wrist pressure to generate a powerful push.
- All-Weather Comfort: The coating eliminates the slippery feel of bare metal in wet conditions and insulates against extreme cold or heat.
- Smooth Propulsion: Helps protect palms and wrists from cumulative strain over long daily distances.
What wheel sizes are compatible with the 20″–25″ range?
These pushrims are engineered for standard active wheelchair rear wheels:
-
Available sizes: 20″, 22″, 24″, and 25″ (ETRTO compatible).
-
Always verify your wheel’s mounting configuration (number of tabs and tab spacing) before ordering to ensure a direct, secure fit.
Who benefits most from the standard grip profile?
The standard grip coating is ideal for:
-
Active everyday riders looking for better traction without added bulk.
-
Users with partial hand or finger weakness who need reliable propulsion control.
-
Anyone seeking a balance between controlled rolling and comfortable open-palm braking.
How should the coating be cleaned and maintained?
-
Clean regularly using a soft cloth, warm water, and mild detergent.
-
Do not use harsh chemical solvents, acetone, or abrasive sponges.
-
On long, steep downhills, use cycling or wheelchair gloves to prevent excessive friction heat buildup on the coated surface
