Clearly looks like a conspiracy! And I was having such a great ride, too. And a great day. 22 miles into a 50 mile to-town-for-lunch and back, and was about 100 yards away from said lunch, at subways, in minden nevada, having left the hiway, entered a parking lot, took a drink (my first of the day, for whatever reason) with my left hand and failed to notice a goddam ****ing black rubber speedbump. And then it was like - like oh **** this is gonna hurt The only thing worse than taking the first drink of the day at a black speedbump is -- dehydration setting in at a series of blue speedbumps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oecvYFq_wi0 I think I was going a decent clip - meaning between 15 n 20 - i think That was Jun 29. I got my first pin. In my thumb. Only $15K. My headache is gone but the stitches are kinda ug- well its too early to say Worrying about cosmetic details is good news: You are indeed recovering! https://www.dropbox.com/s/fl582jkkon...toast.jpg?dl=0 But how is the bike doing? shop sez its wasted. fork is abraded and head tube is elongated sez he Perfect, great excuse to get a new, more tougher bike! No, seriously, I hope you and your thumb are continuing to do better and that your health insurance will battle to eradicate road-camo colored speed bumps. Thank you. But since this is after all .tech let us belabor the point. Whatever it turns out to be. Elongated head tube - wha? Why can't I just stick a fork in there, tighten it down, and call it good? Did they measure or explain that? Most probably oval where the cups no longer press in which would be a fatal problem. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 Ahh ok I get it. Thx. Now that the cast is off tho I'm afraid to ride. It'll break off again if I put weight on it... Maybe get a recumbent for a while |
