I now only take a little Baclofen these days to help with the tone pain, since I can feel my quads and that's where my bad spasticity/spasm/cramp muscles are. Opiates helped me not care, but too harsh and addictive for my body and personality. Gabapentin took some of the tingle edge off but none of... -
I think they're all good choices and it mostly comes down to our use cases and individual tolerances for dealing with maintenance and risk and cost.
(I use to keep 3 chairs around, for specific things, but that got cumbersome, so I switched to 3 wheel sets (plus a Freewheel) and 1 chair....Leave a comment:

My previous Marathon tires wore out from just that long before they lost their tread-worthiness. Sidewall splits that eventually ran 360deg around the whole tire, with spider-web cracking off the main split. Still held like that for a couple months but I eventually swapped them. That was back in...Leave a comment:

The Marathons are much taller, and that extra height is mostly vertical tread thickness, with a puncture resistance layer that is ~30% thicker than the Right Run's as well. Even at 145psi, the tread and puncture layers have noticeably more "squish" under the fingers than the RightRuns. I...Leave a comment:

Tubes will be fine. Pressure rating is about the wheel rim and the tire bead and how they mate.Leave a comment:

Thanks a bunch Phil. I sure am trying.
Perma bans are very very very rare for legitimate members here. The longest ban I remember was a few years, IIRC, but that was before my time.
I use an "infraction" system built into the software. Whenever I read something "rule...Last edited by Oddity; 17 Jul 2021, 9:59 AM. -
Unfortunately not every tire has the same profile or height off the rim so the inserts don't universally fit perfectly into all of them. Just 1mm of gap can cause significantly "squishier" roll.
I tried Shox brand of solid tires once, not the inserts, but I found them too squishy,...Leave a comment:

The gang over at Team Hands On Concepts have made a number of custom sit skis for folks over the years. This sounds like something right up their alley, if they're still doing them. They seem busy with chairs these days....Leave a comment:

Sure. I agree. But this particular Dr in question isn't an example of "shutting down dissent". Neither is the latter article you shared. The Dr in question was simply proven wrong over and over. The other guy was just being critical without providing anything... -
I completely agree with the Ioannidis' position: that data, not guesswork, should guide public health decisions about interventions.
I also agree with his early critics: that pedantic calls for "more studies" on the mortality rates would not have helped stem the tide of bodies...Leave a comment:

Again: Wiki is only as credible as the references listed. Use wiki to access the primary sources, not the article itself.
What you're describing re: truth has never been more true than today in Right Wing American politics. They pillars of that movement today are based on demonstrably... -
Literally dozens of citations in References. If it matters to you, read them.
And yea, nothing, within the context of his vaccine hysteria, and "COVID is a false-alarm!" belief etc etc.
There is literally a mountain of evidence against this guy's biggest, most controversial... -
It's the nearly 50 other, not Wiki, sources in the References section, cataloging that guy's incredulity, that matter. Regardless, nearly everything he's ever said has turned out to not be the case. We don't need Wiki to conclude he was wrong about his biggest claims about both COVID and the vaccines....Leave a comment:

That Wiki article is well cited, throughout, with plenty of credible and verifiable sources. Nearly 50 of them, in the References sectionLeave a comment:

A fine speculative opinion, for back in Feb 21, but the fears, of "millions" of people dying due to heart related side effects, never manifested as reality.
e.g., In the US, with ~90,000,000 shots given, there have only been ~900 deaths, of folks who got at least 1 vaccine shot,...Leave a comment:

Awesome! You guys definitely have the drive and ambition needed to make it work. Cheers!Leave a comment:

Is there something superior about this product over something more conventional, I.e. Metamucil et al
Edit: I guess nothing. I just looked at my tub of Metamucil and it clearly says, "Psyllium Fiber Supplement" right there in big letters. I don't mind the flavoring. It's sugar,...Last edited by Oddity; 4 Jul 2021, 11:43 AM.Leave a comment:

Check the parts catalog. It'll have exploded diagrams of everything they offer.Leave a comment:

(They do offer CADs for adjustable chairs. There are a few in the CAD repository here, and my most recent one was for an Aero Z, with full adjustability. There are still important measurements for the client to verify, so they changed the practice of limited CAD drawings many years ago.)...Leave a comment:
