I finally got to ride the chair with the new tire size 300-4 - chair looks nice - feels good over sidewalk cracks etc, - 10 PSI - i can manage it - i get the wheel shake at times - depends on surface - few other factors - - But making this change has changed how the chair handles feels - CG
Slam the caster hard and it should stop in a half turn or three quarters.

the reason i am having this issue is i changed my rear tires which were larger overall - it wasnt my objective to get larger tires - i just wanted black and wider on the same rim - going from stock 300-8 to 350-8 raised my rear up about 2 inches -

and turning the nut inward again ?
rustyjames wrote:I gave Shirley and others incorrect information. Yes, those shocks could be adjusted to increase the height, but I don't think you could gain anything more than 1" though because the motor housing doesn't have that much travel before bottoming out. To tell you the truth, I don't think the shocks on these chairs really do much at all to absorb any harshness, to me the ride is rigid with no suspension effect at all.

What nut? A small one? Probably damping. Leave alone...
