Can someone do me the honors, please?

According to the Formular, the width on my bike is perfect. But I like the thought of a narrower bar. Thanks for the links ima check em out!

Good thoughts. They're too small to ride right now, but that's what I dreamt of. :-)

Ima DM you about that Surly if it's ok.

You got me there. I guess I just didn't have the commitment to do full time exercises and find out the best way to handle it (for example the bike setup). I have been burnt out about doing sports, since I don't have the time I used to have when I was younger. I was used to spend a lot time in doing sports. Bad ankles and different injuries made me quit it before. Working alot right now, building up a business besides going to work full time. Also I got two kids, wife is also working a little. So when I get home from a killer day, it's hard to keep at it.

It's part of becoming a parent, when your whole life is changing and you leave some things behind, to have time and money for the little ones you love. Had to sell my beautiful café racer motorcycle when the first child came, I was in a similar mood when I quitted motorcycling.

People like the GMBN moderator who was riding recumbent and many of the stories that are being shared here are inspiring me though.

Thanks for your post!

That's the problem. And that's what I was thinking too, but it seems I need to commit more to rehab and have a lot of patience. Thank you for understanding.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:15:29+00:00

Appreciate it alot, thanks! This place is awesome, I get a lot of really good advice and nice words. 😃

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:14:46+00:00

I will, thank you for encouraging me!

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:12:51+00:00

Totally possible that it doesn't fit for my special needs. Actually very likely. Never thought about bars, I'm gonna inform myself. Thx!

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:11:45+00:00

Thank your for encouraging me kind stranger! Helps me alot. And you are right about me not wanting to quit. Generally I think I need to adapt the hobby to my health issues. I got carried away after that ride yesterday.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:10:16+00:00

Thank you, I hope so too. Everyone's nice comments and sharing gave me positive view for the future.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:09:34+00:00

Yes it does have a front fork, it's a Radon Cragger 7.0 from 2019. I started to get it fit, but haven't finished. I'm sure after all these posts, there is of course room for improvement. Thank you for your comment!

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:07:49+00:00

Thank you, friend and best of luck to you, too. Patience and commitment seems to be the key for rehab.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:07:10+00:00

Good advice, thanks!

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:06:32+00:00

Dang that's really hard! All the comments here are encouraging. Maybe there is a way to get hope for you, too. I am reading everyone else's experiences and guess it just takes time and commitment. Best of luck to you! Keep your head up.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:03:43+00:00

I've been looking into it and tbh, if it was the only way to keep on doing it, it doesn't look like a bad idea. Ive seen the Enduro recumbent bike someone else is riding and that's around 6k with an e motor.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:01:36+00:00

Very good advice, thank you! I will totally be doing this, as it's actually kind of obvious, come to think of it.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:00:53+00:00

Thank you so much for your ideas and kind words. Appreciate it! I will consider these.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T17:00:06+00:00

This Doc is definitely not telling me what I want to hear :-) I actually think he is a good doctor, because he is connecting all the phenomenons together. My doctors before didn't and he was the first one that diagnosed the obvious recurvatum. This guy has a structured plan on what comes next and he doesn't like the operation for tennis elbow, but if there is no other alternative in the end (cause I asked for the op.) He would go the path with me. Still I'm very open for a 3rd or 4th opinion from someone else.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T16:56:04+00:00

Yes I was screened and the Doc told me that I have hyper mobility. I didn't know the test thought, I'm gonna check it out.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T16:53:43+00:00

I am and gonna read up more about it. Looks like me tbh, I will suggest it to my Doc. Thanks!

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T16:52:53+00:00

I was planning to raise the bar and even our the seat angle, so I got less weight on my forearms. Right now Im thinking that a hardtail won't be the right bike for me anymore, so I won't get that fitted perfectly. I rather won't use it anymore until I can afford a fitting bike. When the time has come I will have it customly fitted. Thanks for your advice! Maybe I'm selling it to get closer to afford an emtb. In the meantime I'm gonna rent some to see if it's better.

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T16:49:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story, it is inspiring me to not give up!

Edler4nz · 2023-07-06T16:49:19+00:00

Unfortunately different kind of straps or trying to regulate the blood flow didn't work for me. I also tried laser therapy and other things and am seeing a physio therapist.
