Does the Black Prince perform better than the SwissStop Tangente on Zipp Firecrest wheels?

I can't answer that specifically but can say that the Black Prince performs well. I had a cheap pair of Chinese carbon wheels and the braking track was literally delaminating with the Black Prince. They replaced the wheel with one with an industry standard basalt braking surface and they have been working fine. They do seem to wear quickly.

I can not answer what the difference is as I don't know anything about the other models. It will haul your HD 1200XL with a flat. The bottom wheel rocker is ajustable and if you need to you can move it forward for a smaller wheel or flat tire.

They both are great wheels. I got this one because of the pedals. They are absolutely awesome! However it lacks "total" compatibility with PlayStation (no PS or share buttons). Which you can still use the controller for. The only dislike I have are the paddle shifters are fixed and do not move with the wheel

They are two different models. The two wheels in front (the cheaper model) has has small hard wheels front and back, which is good if most of your pushing is going to be done on hard surfaces that are even - concrete, bitumen, etc. The single wheel at the front is the mini GT. It's more expensive and has the air-filled tyres and wheel suspension, which allows a bit more of a comfortable ride for bubba on uneven surfaces such as boardwalks, dirt, grass, etc.

I'm sorry, I haven't used the Happy Trails, but FWIW I can offer some details on the Sportster. I find the three wheels to be effective and a little easier to control over curbs and grass. The larger-sized wheels (compared to the smaller Pet Gear model pictured) are very stable. You do experience vibration in the front wheel if you are walking quickly, however it's intended for jogging and with a simple snap of a button at the front axle the wheel locks and eliminates the problem. At the same time, when walking at a leisurely pace you would prefer the wheel to be unlocked and spin freely for more responsive control over those uneven surfaces. It DID fall over once (because of the three wheel configuration), but it was totally my fault- I walked away from it after knowingly perching it on a very uneven surface, balancing it between a level sidewalk and a grassy hill. Had I even set the brake, which works very easily, it wouldn't have happened, but ultimately it comes back to the fact that one has to pay attention. Personally, I couldn't be happier and will undoubtedly stay with the Sportster. it folds easily and is light enough for my wife to toss it in the trunk.

I've used both, it has more torque at the lower settings but is also heavier and gets hot faster.

I would go with Performance Forte Duo Max wheels that can use both disc & caliper brakes.

I've used the Black Widow on my air lift to raise either the front wheel or the rear wheel. The only negative thing I've found on it use is the thread ratio at the beginning of the lift makes for some strain in turning the thread-bolt. Once the scissor lift gets "Over-center" the turning process is greatly eased. I would recommend using a long handled ratchet with an extension & socket to fit over the bolt screw. The lift has no problem lifting the 1100 #'s but the initial portion of the lift takes a lot of torque so the long hand will ease the overall lift since the bolt handle is too short to get enough leverage on the initial start of the lift without a longer-handle apparatus.

I haven't compared the two. I have used my Sunny spin bike extensively and it still gives me a great workout. I did have to repair the pedal once when I basically peddled so much it came loose , but I was able to repair and now it is as good as new.

I didn't drive another brand long enough to know about how the two compared. The shifter I had engaged/disengaged the two front wheels from swiveling independently in place (what you need to turn around in a tight spot) and then engaged them to steer with the handlebars.

They are exactly the same. I have two with a coaster brake and one without a brake that I purchased by accident. I had to be careful when I built up my wheels because they look identical. They both have 136 percent gear increase.

I had both, and can say the Elites are better construction, smoother motion on the twist, and the grips are made of a spiral pattern rubber that I'm not sure I like better than the Basics, but they are still comfortable enough to make the Elites a much better product overall.

I have the knock off of the old "wrist rocket" not familiar with the "Barnett" the pull back distance for max power and accuracey is perfect.I only use marbles cause rocks tend to hit the uprights and damage the tubing promting replacement

I just got an Einstein recently but haven't had a chance to try it. From what I have read there were some issues with some of the heavier softboxes falling off. I would keep an eye on it as the Alien Bees mounting mechanism is different then the Einsteins - again the SPEEDRINGS are the same for Alien Bees/Einsteins - Good Luck and let me know! - Jeff

I have the blue one and it works great. I got it for when my mother came to visit and it helped her get around when we went shopping. I think the burgundy may have larger wheels, not sure, but the blue works fine.

The pedals on the t500 are WAY better, but the wheel deck is probably a little better on the t300. Not much. I would take the T500 all day long.

I have no experience with anything other than the model I ordered for my 9 year old grandson last Christmas. But he lived it and wore the front wheels down so much we had to order replacements. A great gift with lots of physical involvement but can't tell you which model would be best.
