All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

I am not a doctor, but you may have patellofemoral pain syndrome. I got it when I moved from a temporary apartment to a 2-story with a basement and did a lot of stairs carrying stuff. The way it was explained to me is that if you look at the end of a chicken thigh bone, you see it is shiny, which is a thin layer of tissue that protects some nerve endings. The knee cap slides in that 'V' area on the end of your femur and can wear it down a bit exposing the nerves, causing pain. With mine, structurally it was fine, just painful. Multiple causes, but overuse and going up and down a ladder is certainly a likely cause.

Again, I am not a doctor. But apparently cycling is fine as long as it remains low-impact. According to the interwebs, anyway, and if that is actually your problem. Took a good 6 weeks for it to be completely gone for me. Luckily that was mostly during the freeze-thaw months where trails are not (supposed to be) rideable.

 

Oh dude...I've heard horror stories with air chairs. same with kite tubing. along with flyboarding. fu**ing scary shit man.

Yeah, I might have to keep to night riding now. hahaha.

 

Well, my house has stairs so I can't completely stay off of it.

However I judge my healing by how much it may or may not hurt the first 1-2 steps and if it hurts I'll just peg leg up the stairs.
It's getting better, just nothing super quick.

 

I went tubing one time and got a forced water enema. I got away from water sports after that.

I also broke my nose on a jet ski before that.

 

some people probably call it snake oil but I'm a fan of KT type, depending on the type of injury

 

Theres a lot of asian influence in my life, so Tiger Balm everything.

 

I recently tried that for my back and it worked quite well...working from home full time is catching up to me

 

Market Intel needed: How much would you pay for a 2018 Evil Wreckoning? DVO Suspension, XOI Drivetrain, and Hope brakes

 

WAG shot at it, $3500

 

I wouldn’t spend more than 3500.

 

Yeah thinking the same thing. List it for $4k and see what happens. The bike is an XL though so it may sit on the floor longer than I like

 

I’m helping a friend sell a 2019 Santa Cruz Bronson if anyone is in the market. Size XL

Hit me up for details if interested.

I used KT tape the other day to help seal up a decent slice on my finger. I think it works.

yeah, i'd agree with what others have said. 3500 max.

 

3 months since I bought this, and finally have three rides on it (had achilles surgery).

The threadless carrier is the shit. It hasn't loosened on me, super easy install, looks cool, etc.

Now if they could just figure out their pedals we'd be all set.

 

Anyone recommend a good portable foldable Torx bit tool set? Lots of Torx fasteners on my bike. I have plenty of individual bits and drivers, which are fine in the shop, but nothing for the road. TIA

 

Headed out to Crested Butte for a few days next week. Wanna do 403 and doc park along with a day at evolution. I normally camp at Taylor reservoir, about an hour away, which isnt bad, but does anyone know about camping closer to doc park or crested butte? Cement creek trail is an option, there were some spots that were taken last time I was through there. There should be a spot or two open on tuesday/wednesday next week.

I could always camp down at hartman rocks in gunni, but was hoping to only do one/two nights there and not make that drive back and forth if im trying to do 403/doc park then evolution the next night.

I thought I could camp a bit north, but south of schoffield pass. A coworker said theyre starting to restrict camping around there though.

 

I have had good experience with Wera and Wiha tools.

 

Depending on how small you need:

But I use their standard 1/4" drive with a typical cheap bit set.

Probably the best resource I’ve seen on the camping situation around Crested Butte. It has a decent interactive map.

 

THANK YOU!

I saw something done by the city of Crested Butte, but wasn't very helpful.

This is perfect
