OneTigris 4 season budget UQ first impressions/pics

Today was insane. Could the weather just decide what it is going to do.

I literally drove up I-95 in a blizzard, and then when I got out of my meeting, all the snow was gone and the sun was shining.

I don't understand this winter at all.

I hope we haven't lost all the spring fruits, the cherries, especially.

Low price and a few fitment issues aside I'm glad to see it is doing a good solid job. That could help a lot of new hangers get past one of the hardest hurdles; fixing cbs on a budget without resorting to pass!
I was going to order one myself but scraped for an incubator. Still, I have the Tigris bookmarked and maybe if I get one we can conspire on a quick/simple suspension upgrade to help the new hangers?

Sounds good. I can definitely see it giving a new hanger fits. Just now I laid in it and I've got a cold spot under my butt. But once its all dialed in, it will be good to go. Its just getting the tension right that's the hard part with is one. To tight and it compresses, too loose and CBS. There isnt really a middle ground where an end baffle or a side sinch can take up the slack. I'll fiddle with it tomorrow and see if I can figure something out. Its gonna be 20° tonight with heavy gusts off of the bay so I will definetly test its lower limit tonight! Wish me luck! I'll be amazed if this thing holds out. I do have my UQP on to help too. Well see!

Well, the proof is in the picture. I did 17° last night with a $50 Chinese so-called UQ and was plenty warm. Once I got out and tightened it some to lift it a little better I was good to go. And not only was it 17° outside, the low in my pocket was 78°, and the high 94° !!! I'm pretty much gonna call it at this point : the OneTigris winter UQ IS a viable, inexpensive option for new hangers. The suspension does need a fix and once I figure it oiut, I'll post it here with pics so anyone interested will have the info they need. Wow. I didn't think the temp rating they gave would be even close but I guess I was wrong!!!

Sweet! How long did it take to ship?

About 2 weeks. Not bad I guess right? The $30 UQ I ordered off of EBay at the same time still hasn't come, but its finally in country. Should be here this coming week. Now Im a little skeptical about this next one lol. But we'll see. I figure for $30, i can use it inside or this summer when the humidity goes crazy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/132041209552...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT . If this thing does 55° I'll be happy lol
