Thanks for the review! I've been looking all over for a good push rim cover option. Side note: I also have POTS and I also rest my toes on the foot plate like you do. 💁‍♀️💜

Thank you so much for making this video. I am studying for my Physical Therapy license and some of this does not really make sense to me when I just read it and you cant always think of the downside of products that you yourself don't use.

I love how your Channel educates everyone!

Love that you show all aspects of your life and don’t only include the pretty instagram worthy content:)

It looks super cute and comfy, I can’t wait to see what all you deck it out with ❤️ I’m really happy you found a way to get out and about without it draining you!

Good 'write-up'. Been thinking of getting some myself. I can grip the metal rims mostly ok in summer, though I still prefer using gloves. In winter the rims are very cold and bare hands slip more ( also darned cold sometimes!) On gloves, I tried padded wheelchair gloves with 'cut-off' finger tips. They didn't last long & didn't keep my fingers clean/protected. I now use DIY gloves from a local DIY store. They have thickish rubber on the palms and fingers and grip the rims really well & are much more durable than other gloves I tried. ( Some just had rubber dots on...which worked well for about a week until the dots wore off!)

Great Video!!! I just came across your channel, thanks for the info on the fit grips. Amazon has the spoke covers that you mentioned.

Great review!!!!! I’m going to order them for my chair right now 🤗

Thank you for sharing this nice review, I will buy one after watching your review and I believe it will make my life easier. Thank you for your positive energy.

Awesome! They will help soo much! Good choice not using the glue! You need to be able to take them off to clean them!!!

I went with a different push rim last year when I got a new chair, I went from titanium rims to Surge rims that has a flat outside and a rubber grip on top so you can both get the improved grip when pushing but at the same time have somewhere to be able to slow down without burning your hands off. Only bad thing about the Surge rims I’ve noticed is that the rubber grip on them goes kinda slippery after a while and the non rubber coated parts are extremely slippery. But the rims are still better than the titanium ones were, and I get better grip with gloves on than with gloves against the titanium, so it all works out ok in the end. Good grip sure helps when having Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or just Hypermobility in general. Another good thing with my chair is that the side guards I have have a soft top and firm sides so I can actually push down on the top of them to aid slowing down, and it’s also good for people who transfer sideways as these side guards are softer if landing on them during transfer, or for that matter get up on the side guards a little to reach a higher shelf if being too tired or in too much discomfort to stand up (or if being unable to stand)

The teal matches the shutters on my home perfectly. I also had no idea that you had a wheelchair. I'm glad you like them. I didn't have anything like that when I had a wheelchair. (I fell off a ladder and needed a wheelchair for a month)

That is one nice wheelchair & glad your wheel rim grips work for you!!!

You can try some surge LT rims or natural fit rims are good as well to help with self propelling. I also have some rubber push rims from amazon as well they have multiple colours too.

Absolutely amazi by and inspiring keep being optimistic

My chair came with a rubber/plastic coating. I destroyed them within months. Then i got a new set. Destroyed them again within months. So for about 19 years i just have metal rims. I would destroy any of these rim covers rather quickly. Bums me out but it is what it is. I would like to find some that are a bit bigger in diameter and plain metal, not painted. Glad i saw this video !

I use the same exact fitgrips! But only in the winter, if I use them in the summer my hands are much more sweaty and I will get blisters big time and then it's awful trying to push around all day. So fitgrips are a winter only add on to my chair. Also I still have some good sized tears in mine because I'm pretty rough with everything I own. Going downhill with fitgrips, especially on my college campus was a bit of a learning curve but I try to keep my fingers on the exposed metal part of the rim to slow myself down and not use the rubber as much because you WILL burn your hands big time from friction.

Love your chanell do you do any wheelchair sports?

Hello Haley, I watched your review on the Fit Grip Pro, hand rim grip. What do you think of them now, that you've had them for a few years, if you kept them? Alex

What is the diameter of the push rims with the Fit Grips on? Do they stay on well, even though they're designed to fit up to a 26" wheel? I'm trying to decide which push rim covers to get because I need a larger surface area for gripping than standard push rims offer (POTS causes my hands to swell to the point that, even with gloves on, I can't grip standard push rims very well).

Question about your Apple Watch (assuming that's what it is)... have you found a good way to swap it between wheelchair mode and walking mode without having to dig through the settings every time? I got wheels recently for my bad days and I'm trying to figure out an easy way to switch modes.

Cool color

i use grip gloves and they keep you hands clean and you can get them in different colours ...you can them home hardware

is this your first chair? I was wondering if you have ever owned a tilite and can compare it to your ki. I've considered switching to a ki but have heard tilite is the best so it's a scary decision for me.

Hola como estas , después de un año del accidente por fin me van a entregar mi silla y es casi parecida ala tuya, tbn viene sin el caucho🙊quiero saber donde lo compraste gracias Soy de Colombia

This was pretty interesting to learn about! I'm glad the fit grips will make it easier and less strenuous for you to push your chair now. You'll probably go the same distance with half as much effort now! That's great!

Hi I’m 19 and I’m a wheelchair user since I was 11

Hi and thanks! My name is Conny and l've got some 4 weeks ago, tod. Mine are from normal ones, called Ultra Grrrrip (3 r, yes!) by reha design in Germany in red. They work pretty fine but, like they all, you've to wash them very often. Otherwise you'll have so much dust on top and your hands are dirty and feel ugly and you don't wanna hold anything, e.g. food or so in these hands! In sun it might be not so hot but every day you have to climb down a ramp or hill it's a lot more warmth than without. It can burn your hand if ramp's too long. But here all the pro's: aelot more grip, it's about 45% more surface you'te got! For everyone with small handfunktioneor/and powerein arms, shoulders, hands this is heaven on earth! You need so mucheless power yourself!eWays are not as energy sapping and exhausting as bevore! So you've got more "Yeah" in your mindeif it's up to meet s.o.if you were out bevore :) Your wheelz look in that wonderfulecoloureyouewanted so bad!eAllewho searcheyou in a mal will find you easiereand you're proud! If on some ramps the gripeisn't enough though youecan try use wheels AND grips on both sides! To roll and brake ie emergency. But try before! when you bump at corners and other things you don't have the digs and dongs youedaily get on the handgrip! That's gone away with this coat. So it's worth it, of course! The only point, heat is to go against very easy: if l know this day it might be hot, it put myeold gloves on that l normally don't use any more. Be blessed, all around!

what is your injury?

She is adorable a real beauty

What wheelchair are you using? It kind of looks like KI Catalyst but I'm not sure. I'm looking to buy a better wheelchair my insurance doesn't cover it so I want to get a good one.

Cool

Nice

What happen why you use a wheelchair?

Do you still use them?

God bless u

There is no more option for choosing ♿ in India 🇮🇳. But I wish it would be soon.

I'm not at all trying to be mean but why do you need a wheelchair? Because I never knew that you had one

You so gorgeous 💖

How do they expect any disabled person to buy any medical equipment? Not everyone with disabilities can get disability or can get good insurance.

☕☕

You're cute! 😍

You're very cute. Cheers!
