A Ticwatch E2 came with my MX2+, though the watch's packaging had Permobil markings all over it which suggests that it may be a customized E2 rather than a generic commercial variant. I'd guess that some software hacking might be required for any other Ticwatch to be made compatible. -
That is some sage advice, ckf. This all came about when my last remaining caretaker called up one morning and said she wasn't feeling well and wasn't going to come. Due to the enormous shower buddy that I was using, my routine was to transfer out of bed in the morning using a hoyer lift. Essentially,...Leave a comment:

Very cool, endo. I hadn't heard about the Lubricant Launcher before, but with a name like that it's got to be one heck of a tool! I'm doing pretty well with the dil stick, but I admit that sometimes my aim isn't perfect and I worry about doing damage. Sounds like this is a neat alternative....Leave a comment:

Thanks for your perspective, crags. The good news is that I'm pretty successful already with dig stim using the dil stick. Admittedly, I'm still perfecting the art, but I'm lucky enough to have sufficient sensation that I can do a pretty good job. As for the mess, I've been able to keep it largely under...Leave a comment:

Quad suppository in commode?
I'm a C5/6 no hands trying to reach independence in my daily morning bowel program. I've gotten pretty good at using the dil stick in my commode, but I haven't yet started to insert my own suppository (the inserter just arrived). In line with advice I read here, I want to eat a small warm breakfast... -
Hi everyone, thanks for all the ideas. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to figure this out yet. The good news, is that yesterday I was able to get a video of the problem in action. The video also gets a little bit of a better view of the geometry that I have set up. I'd appreciate any thoughts! I'm...Leave a comment:

Neat idea, but unfortunately not terribly quad friendly, haha!Leave a comment:

Thanks Rick, I'm looking forward to checking out your chairs soon.Last edited by ejl10; 05-07-2020, 09:49 PM.Leave a comment:

I'm reluctant to think that this is actually the brakes, and certainly not the motor at this point. I rode about 600 miles last summer and fall, and didn't really experience this at all. Now, it seems to be happening constantly. Someone mentioned that all the connections need to be really tight. As...

Thanks Jim, this was a really informative session!Leave a comment:

Thanks everyone! I tried it out today and it worked well. I don't have the 24" version to compare it to, but I can't imagine how it might have been better. Jeramie630 I did get the new watch with the Smartdrive, one of my conditions of purchasing. certainly seemed a lot easier to use than a Fitbit,...Leave a comment:

Just the kind of encouragement I was hoping to hear! Thanks Gordy.Leave a comment:

Alternatively, does anyone know how bad it is to use the Smartdrive with the wrong clamp like this? Seems like it would just be hanging about 1/2" low and therefore the angle of impact would be slightly smaller on the ground.Leave a comment:

8E? Wow... Many can save money by just buying one!Leave a comment:

Ah, that could definitely be it. I probably would have opted for a second disc brake on the other side rather than introducing the complexity of a totally different braking system, but I'm no engineer and they didn't ask me anyway!Leave a comment:

Welp, it's officially weird now. Now that you mention it, I tried it the other day with the battery disconnected and it's still had the same problem. So it's got to be the brakes. This afternoon I took it out for a test ride, and for the first half mile on flat ground everything felt fine. I braked...Leave a comment:

WTB/WTT Smartdrive axle clamp for 24/540 wheels
I've been watching out for a good priced MX2+ on eBay for the last six or eight months, and finally found one a few weeks ago. Only problem is it came with an axle clamp for a 25" 559 setup, and I run 24" 540 wheels.
Does anybody have a 24" clamp they wouldn't mind parting...Last edited by ejl10; 04-28-2020, 06:05 PM. -
The bike and chair are in tip-top shape, as both of them are less than a year old and have seen relatively little use during that year. I'm not sure which brake is causing it, if either. Given the huge amount of force in the convulsions and the sometimes very low speeds it's happening at, it feels entirely...Leave a comment:

Yeah, certainly worth discussing. I'm fortunate and have triceps, though, so she's been really keen to see me making good powerful lifts rather than actually sliding.
As far as the queen bed is concerned, I'm still holding out hope for love!Leave a comment:
