It ended up being my mindless rear deraileur set-up-for-mud that did me in. IN the end, good legs and a good bike (regardless of wheel size) will win the day. I think everyone is flatting on these Stan's Crows. I guess when your tire is barely thicker than standard copier paper you can come to expect issues.<BR/>So, that is one heck of an injury there. As you mentioned before, you are now in the Collarbone Club for Men. Bummer on the timing but crashes come when they come. If we try to avoid them then maybe racing is not for us. They are part of the game. Hey, you come out of this with a super strong collarbone, and a way to feel the upcoming weather. Heal up and keep your head in the game man.

I did exactly what you did late last August ruining my Cheq Fat plans. My doc wanted to see if the overlap would heal naturally, which it didn't. Ended up having surgery around Christmas and riding outside the second week of Jan. Went to Tucson in early March and rode hard for 7 days without issue. Was skiing in Colorado at the end of the month. Just be smart because cross is inherently harder on your body and you could still do irreversible damage. And I still have some lack of sensation issues in the pectoral area but it's slowly coming back. I'm sure you have some of the same. Good luck and we'll see ya at the races.ScootsOnMootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276100561631872372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15026866.post-14824732390765454092008-09-18T18:41:00.000-05:002008-09-18T18:41:00.000-05:00Get well soon!On wheel seize: Do you think the CC ...Get well soon!<BR/>On wheel seize: Do you think the CC racers would be faster on 26" wheels? Surely not.<BR/>If 29'rs had the same , super lightweight tires as 26 things would be different IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15026866.post-24245161974100558772008-09-18T11:37:00.000-05:002008-09-18T11:37:00.000-05:00I hope you come out anyway... we'd miss not seein'...I hope you come out anyway... we'd miss not seein' ya.
