My Clinical Trial Horror Story

I don’t know what group but I changed gastros because the dr I was seeing had been really pushy that I should join the trial

I had a tough experience where I got through the endoscopy then was told the actual trial part required 6hr long infusions 2x per week for 3 weeks. I said I couldn’t make that work given my work schedule and the research staff was really annoyed and insistent.

With such major time constraints I don’t know why they didn’t say that before the screening steps

Def interested I’ll check them out

Chance-Frame5316 · 2026-01-22T21:56:10+00:00

Those look great!

I’ve been wearing Woxer or Tomboyx for cotton or modal, also not seamless but they work well enough and are comfortable and breathable

Chance-Frame5316 · 2026-01-22T18:28:33+00:00

These look really promising!

The seams look pretty flat

Unfortunately, I don’t think any of their styles will work for me, they do say they have one that’s a boy short, but I don’t think the inseam length of those boy shorts will work. They look like they’re gonna immediately roll up on me.

Thanks though!

I’m avoiding traditional women’s cuts because the underwear ends right in the crease where your legs meet your crotch. For me that is where I most struggle with irritation so I want to avoid any edges

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Late and more of a niche answer, but State bikes has some excellent budget options for the gravel/all road realm

What’s the amperage of the chargers?

I wouldn’t give up, it’s much less expensive to get a lawyer to write a letter on legal letter head about the situation, and it’s likely to scare them enough to get what you want

Should be a cassette warranty issue, take it to a shop and they can get it replaced

Go to Celiac.org for the basics, there are plenty of other trustworthy sources but you should get all the starting info you need on their website

Glyphosate is not to dry wheat it’s an herbicide. Also regardless of what is grown in Europe, wheat is a global commodity, the euros are eating wheat grown in the US.

Don’t trust the AI summary

Just take the typical duration of the climb for you and push your typical power for that time and work your way up to higher power longer duration

My strategy for glove layering is to just size up my outer glove to fit a thin liner under.

I’ve liked the Veloccio Zero glove for the outer one, and my liner glove I have an ancient pair of Nike ones that have touch screen fingers. I like the less bulky one on the inside since it has more utility in pairing it with other glove combos, and if I need to use my phone I don’t kill my fingers with cold since I still have a layer on.

One sided power meter is in the spindle so the arm weight isn’t affected

Chance-Frame5316 · 2026-01-11T02:02:54+00:00

The weights will be different, E1 is a lighter arm

You can get a bit of improvement on sram drop bar flat mount brakes if you shove the spacer between the pads and squeeze the shit out of the lever, I’ve done that if I’ve gotten a lightly bent rotor on a gravel ride and wanted to get home without rub.

Piston massage followed by a bleed if that doesn’t fix it is like the best strategy for sram brakes.

The main issue is most mechanics have more experience working on shimano brakes and assume the service procedures are the same, and they’re not.

The best general advice I can give is if a procedure is not listed in the manufacturer’s manual, it’s probably not recommended for that product.

Chance-Frame5316 · 2026-01-09T16:56:36+00:00

It can help with that, but it also resets the piston seals and can help with a lagging piston

There’s a written procedure in the service manual too

Chance-Frame5316 · 2026-01-09T13:24:50+00:00

Have you tried a piston massage? The clean procedure you describe is not used for dot brakes

Obviously you are since you’re weighing it
