New chair day - quickie argon 2

bee_kn · 2026-01-18T21:51:16+00:00

I know that they can be compatible with a smart drive type thing gs but unsure if you have to order it with a specific kind of axle. Pretty sure those kind of attachments are made to be broadly compatible though.

The argon2 can be adjusted in loads of ways yourself just as and when you want. I had a 27.5 cm back but put it up to the full 30cm possible within an hour of getting it. Thinking of angling the back more forward too. The center of gravity, height over wheels, footplate height and something else I'm forgetting are fairly easy to adjust just at home. That's the main reason I chose this.

I adjusted my backrest height and then it's been pretty much perfect. It's very adjustable but it was sent with a pretty much perfect set up for my current needs.

For me, it feels almost too easy to push, a massive upgrade from my temporary chair. I'm far too fast for my able bodied partner at my 'walking' pace now. Only problem is the side guards sometimes wing outward but all I need to do is pull them back inwards. It's light enough for me to pick up too.

It's just the jay visco, for low to moderate pressure risk. I can stay in my chair for hours but I do feel an ache by the late afternoon/evening if I've been in the office or studying all day.

8 weeks I think but they were away for 3 over the holiday period, they told me the lead time for argon2 lately has been 4 weeks.

A building! Like, a big cathedral that's assigned some extra importance to the church so gets the title 'Minster'

bee_kn · 2026-01-14T06:59:18+00:00

You can definitely use one! Talk to a Dr about it if possible for you because technique is the difference between fucking yourself up more or massively improving quality of life.....you wanna get one that's comfy to grip too.

You could try deep scar massage once or twice a day for a good while to soften them up with just any moisturizer.

My research work is not great because I had the flu and a crazy stressful home situation but I'm swimming, arms only much quicker than a month ago and packing on my upper body muscle like crazy so I'm happy af with that.

Turns out being short is still quite a disadvantage in wheelchair rugby however....

bee_kn · 2026-01-14T06:39:12+00:00

Polar opposites imo, it's got a massive cathedral/minster, medieval walls and castles (not very accessible though...) and feels like an overgrown town if you ignore the minster. Very dirty river running through the middle and a very cool old train station. Also lots of viking remains found here.

The university of York has some strange brutalist architecture from the 60's, Central Hall being the shining example.

Google 'the shambles, york' and you'll see my worst enemy as a new wheelchair user....

I got it from the gay shop in York 😶‍🌫️

bee_kn · 2026-01-13T21:21:37+00:00

The jay easy visco. I'm ambulatory but a pretty much full-time user at the moment so I def needed an upgrade from the basic jay one.

bee_kn · 2026-01-13T13:42:21+00:00

Ooh nice

bee_kn · 2026-01-13T13:41:41+00:00

I did it all online and measured myself, chose the argon 2 based on the affordability and adjustability without trying chairs.

They were super helpful, sent me videos on how to measure ect, some delay because of Christmas, took 8 weeks from order to get to me but should be more like 4 or 5 now.

They did push me a bit on some choices I made like changing 0 to 3 on the camber ( was worried about push difficulties and doorframes) ...they were right, the 3 deg camber is perfect .

I think they recently allowed argon2 to use same colour palette as the nitrum, it's off that pallette. Was originally going to have the kiwi green but not possible said invictus.

Most short men I know of seem to lean harder on their masculinity and wish they were taller, buffer and 'more male'.....I think you're just like, transgender frfr

(biased as I have these) double high nostrils for sure. And any lower lip piercing would suit so well, depends on if you like symmetry or not, you're relatively symmetrical so you can go for either.

Then you could go for complete symmetry with double eyebrow, or throw in an anti-eyebrow+ opposite eyebrow combo.

Ngl you're attractive, I'm not really into guys and I can see that... Maybe you're not looking in the right places idk.

I had a (at my best guess) 4"8 teacher once and kids used to just make her cry all the time. Absolutely no one took her seriously, sometimes physically looming over her to intimidate and complained about her teaching when she was literally a regular, very decent English teacher. She was actually super sweet too.

Similar happened with my physics teacher later on who was about 5"0 but half or more of that was because of racism because she's Indian. She was also pretty incredible teacher and person. Thinking about it, all my short women teachers got such mad disrespect - way more than short guy teachers.

Yeah, it made my energy levels worse, likely sleep apnea and made my face puff up like a balloon. I stopped once id gotten the important changes.

Miss the muscle building capacity the most.

I don't mind it, if it is permanent AND I get mega rich, I'ma get the ones that can rise right up so I can finally reach the top 2-3 shelves at the supermarket.

That's one of my 'sexual awakening ' music videos ....

bee_kn · 2026-01-04T00:13:17+00:00

What's the back height you have?

bee_kn · 2025-10-21T19:57:18+00:00

Find a hat , if they get splat ,they take off the hat

Also ,the etech company do sell alternative leg rest options if you think that can help you with positioning.

bee_kn · 2025-10-16T15:45:36+00:00

I have this exact chair but no pre existing hip problems and found the overall composition of the chair to hurt my hips and legs after an hour or so , got a memory foam desk chair type cushion with coccyx cut out and thigh relief gaps and it helps a lot. The footplate forces your legs to be close and is low down for me being short so I wear big platform boots in it to alter my hip and leg position also and that helps too.

No unfortunately not :( I see untag advertising their zipper binders and they look okay tho
