[HELP]2010 Invacare Arrow Storm RWD - Back wheel diagnosis

Postby Moosh89 » 28 Apr 2021, 19:18

This is still my "old" chair, not my "new" one, but I have a loud squeak whenever I begin to move or slow to stop, it happens as the back (left?) wheel rotates. I just need to know what's causing it and how to service it. Lubricant? New bearings?.

My Dad put down a new flooring joiner between the kitchen/living room that is a bit higher than the old one and since I've gone over it a few times, the squeak has returned and gotten louder lol. I tend to move around slowly until I know where my cats are and it is REALLY squeaky when moving slowly. Once I pick up speed, it stops.

Possible incorrect brake voltage if you have changed this.
Possible dragging or seized brake.
Possible motor armature problem or broken magnets.
Possible tyre rubbing on something.
Possible bearing failure in motor.
Possible cush drive rubber failure.
Possible you are running over a cat.

It will take a man with a brain and possibly tools to figure out what.

LOL

OK, so it might be a trip to SaskAbilities to have them go at it if it's something in the motor

Thanks

Today I taught Melissa (my PA) how to fix one of my multimeters. :mrgreen: (No power due to a broken black wired from the PP3 connector, a simple fix!)

Well in SOME cases yes. But they really do not normally tend to gravitate naturally to these sorts of things. But yes I know the odd one that can!

If I could do it I would lol. I do like to learn all I can of how to do things, even if I can't do them on my own.

My family has a long history of women doing typically male-dominated jobs. My sister is a Heavy Equipment Operator, hunter, truck driver, welder, oilfield worker, etc...

Me, I've handled a soldering iron before :lol: :mrgreen:

Many experiments show that even as a baby, if presented with a room full of toys, boys go towards cars, mechanical things. Girls go towards dolls, cuddly toys etc.

Look at society. Anyone can be a nurse. Or a mechanic. Or an engineer. Or be a motorcycle racer. But we certainly dont see 50 50 mix in any of these jobs.

I am watching Moto GP bike racing for most of my life. There has been a total dominance, 100% male in this sport. Why is that? Across all bike racing its around 99% male. Few ever do well. Women are just as welcome. In fact its easier for them because they get sponsorship far easier. Why is this?

When I look at nursing. In my spinal injuries unit. About 40 nurses work there. The vast majority are female. There were 5 men. Of which 3 were openly gay. Why is this?

When I look at CEOs of large companies. Almost total dominance of males. Anyone CAN do it. Anyone can start a business. Again theres approx 70% that are male in small businesses in this country. And most of these are in non mechanical or "safe clean" fields. For e.g you will be hard pressed to find a company of female deep sea welders. Yes you might find the odd woman doing this. But why isnt it 50%? Because they dont want to do it.

So in all the cases above they have just chosen. Nobody or no thing is preventing any of the above. Its just that men and women are different. They have different brains, think differently. Why is there only 1 female fighter pilot in the RAF? Same thing. They either lack the commitment, or the will, or simply are not as interested in doing this as men are.

I bought a beautifully made epoxy coated wooden propellor from a small microlite/miniplane/paramotor as an ornament in my room. Women totally ignore it. Its like it does not exist. All my female carers, ex gf, relatives like my brothers wives, all think its invisible. practically every male, that sees it walks straight to it and asks whats it from. Or picks it up and looks at it. Its the first thing they do on entering my room. Women are not men. They are different. Thankfully. In spite of all this lefty multi flexible gender woke nonsense, currently trying to pretend otherwise.

Thats not to say women cannot eqally do any of these things. Elon musks engineers are predominantly male. If you look at all the employees at his new boca chika rocket building and construction site its very hard to spot any women. There may be some. But you can absolutely spot men all day long getting out of 4x4 pick up trucks as they arrive for work. But even at spacex, elons first in command IS a woman - Gwynne Shotwell. She runs spacex. Its just not common. She IS an engineer.

Another study I saw once on babies - they gave them sets of the old classic wooden building blocks and watched what they built.... Boy babies tended to build towers and vertical stacked structures, while girl babies tended to build low walls, mazes, and other horizontal structures... (Emulation of certain biological structures was speculated about....)

Another reason which I believe is a major factor in why you see fewer women in upper management type jobs is simply the 'Time in Grade' factor - women tend to take more time off for doing things like baby making and child care and seem less willing to put in the same massive amounts of over-time, and other work that men do, so don't get the experience that leads to promotions, etc.

No the left disagree with you. They push equality of outcome you see. So that fits in with their wealth redistribution nonsense and anyone that disagrees with their screaming about black lives matter, or equality, or endless womens rights, saving the planet and the gender pay gap are all racists or evil! They are basically all using all the equalities or percieved inequalities to drive their left wing ideology. They are the same thing in their new "packaging". The modern day socialists cant really argue its merits using traditional values as it always fails dismally and destroys lives and entire countries!

So now its all about the left pushing equality of men/women/race, etc. And in the same way that the extreme left marxist anti capitalism group BLM are using this against any rational argument the rest of the lefties are joining in as it "looks" like its all about racism. Its not its about remarketing the same old marxist garbage in a clever way. After all its the left that are screaming and rioting about BLM but nobody is allowed to say anything about that. Same with male female wage differences. And jobs. And saving the planet. Green socialism. Another way to make the rich pay... Its all bullshit, but framed cleverly in a way that means you cant say so or seem like you are racist or stupid. When n fact you gotta BE stupid to fall for it.
