I might be doing it more harm by working. Edited March 22, 2018 by Rehab1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far my humeral head is not dying ( the screws remain in the same position) but the attached point for the rotator cuff muscles (greater tubercle) has still not ossified so I’m restricted to lifting only 2-3 pounds. I can now attend therapy. There's more screws in your humerus than in a 5th grade shop bird feeder! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About wobbles... It seems I was in a hurry today, I averaged 18.5 mph with a peak of 23 mph. That in itself is not that strange, but I did it with a Mad Mike tire with studs on gravelly roads. It is a bit scary when the wind and traffic is such that you don't hear the alarms. Today I felt them rather than hearing them, which is the only reason I peaked at 23 mph, rather than 26-27. Some days, it is like you're a rock, and no speed feels dangerous. And I expect that if I ever give in to THAT illusion, fate will remind me painfully that it isn't so... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scatcat Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 3 hours ago, Shad0z said: how is the mad mike tire? any big pros and cons? one is on the way to me now Superb on soft ground, mud, sand, snow, loose gravel etcetera. Not so good on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt. The "track" that touches the ground on a hard surface is less than on a city "slick" tire, the "track" is also narrower and the geometry of the tire is more evenly round than most city tires. I suspect the narrowness compensates for the deep threading, as the tire is about as easy on the batteries as both my earlier ChaoYang and CST tires. In terms of stability, the ChaoYang has been the best I've tried so far. But I have a set of Kenda city tires lines up for testing as soon as the spring is here to stay. The Mad Mikes accepts a bit less tire pressure than your typical city tire, so you can partly compensate for the differences, but it will probably never feel as stable or safe on a hard road as a slicker tire. I suspect the difference is less with a wider tire, but as I've only tried the 2.125" variant, I can't know for sure. Lower pressure will also kill your batteries faster. I put it on for the thickness to be able to put studs in it. At first I had studs on the sides and in the center, but eventually I took away the central studs - the side studs were enough to give traction, and the stability was far better without them. I have it at 2.6 bar myself, the official lower limit is 2.5 bar, but I've tried them down to 2.3 without issue. The city tires I use, I usually push to 2.9-3.0 bar or so. Overall it's the tire I'd choose for off-road driving, especially since it can handle hard surfaces too - if not as good as a smoother tire. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to self: do not fall.... do not fall... How do you even put on your pants in the morning? No... wait... don't answer that. We've already seen your nipple. No need for a "Pants how the heck" video. Glad to see you're well on the way to recovery.

There may be times when I”m riding very slow for painting or dancing with Mten3 some of the protective gear could be off but other than that I will definitely gear up. Formal therapy begins today. My surgeon told me to take along my X-rays. He said my therapist will probably make some comment like “you should have been in here much earlier:” He told me to tell them “Go fu.k yourself!” and then elaborated “They weren’t inside your arm and saw what I did”!

None of my business, but I think you should refrain from all EUC riding until you can put a lab coat on without causing vicarious pain for the viewer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab1 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Thanks! I’m being extremely careful! I thought I was smiling during the video. That obvious eh? Unfortunately I will probably have facial grimaces donning a jacket for the next year or so. When I currently ride Mten it is at whooping 3-5 MPH. I am waving and moving my arms in all directions for a range of motion therapeutic effect. I just don’t want to start back at square one learning to ride. You would be surprised how much somatosensory feedback is lost over a short period of time. Edited March 30, 2018 by Rehab1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised how much somatosensory feedback is lost over a short period of time. Oh yeah, when I started EUC riding I felt old neuropathways and mental processes being re-awakened after a long slumber. Felt like a kid again. 3-5 MPH should be fine, as long as you have some kind of plan for freak accidents/falls. Man, a whole year of that pain/limitation, at best? Only a slow EUC cruise could heal those blues. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
