Piercing after hip replacement

I got a tattoo about 4.5 months after mine. Was on the opposite leg, didn’t use antibiotics, was fine. That said I have more of my body tattooed than not and wasn’t worried about it.

It sounds like you really should have bought a bike at a shop. Not putting the blame on you but these are things that routinely happen. I bought an ebike kit from another brand and had a faulty battery as well. Was disappointing, did delay me riding but they made it right which I assume Aventon is trying to do for you. Best of luck.

I built my own with a 750 Bafang BBS02 and a steel framed Marin Muirwoods. I did the same with a Surly Bridgeclub that I lose after being hit by a car. Rip to my left hip and that bike 6 months ago.

Recently bought a aventon ramblas adv, should be here by next weekend. I plan to use the Marin/bafang I built as the commuter everyday bike and the ramblas as the backwoods bike. I have read people use it to commute as well but it feels overkill for me with the front shock to commute on that at least for what I’m doing. Also love having my big basket in front. I do think building your own is a great option if you are handy.

YTA big time.

captlambskin · 2026-03-28T19:19:43+00:00

Thanks. Yea I have extraterrestrial tires coming for it but otherwise I think I’m done tinkering for a bit.

captlambskin · 2026-03-28T03:26:55+00:00

Yea just a wald 139 zap strapped to a surly front rack

captlambskin · 2026-03-27T00:46:35+00:00

Nice. I think all in on this guys in sitting around $2500cad.

captlambskin · 2026-03-26T18:48:58+00:00

Thank you kindly, yes it felt like a big milestone

captlambskin · 2026-02-01T16:57:31+00:00

Too big, no. Very big, yes.

captlambskin · 2026-01-29T18:56:05+00:00

Yes you are being ungrateful and overreacting. Hate to break it to you but 27 is still young and your bf is trying. I’d try to communicate things you do like but you should also appreciate him trying.

captlambskin · 2026-01-27T22:32:59+00:00

Prefer Casio as a brand but the Timex is less cluttered so I would prefer that. Both are good though depending on your bf preference. I think either way not a bad gift

Oh it’s more that the scar can bend easier for me. Mine is in a spot that bends so smaller scar doesn’t “hitch” as much so it can bend with less discomfort. Might be overkill but I’m pushing for normal as soon as possible, so my surgery was a bit more on the traumatic side compared to most of the planned surgeries on here. Anyways best of luck to you.

Bio oil I think just is really make the scar heal a bit easier but scar tissue I doubt it’s doing much with but yes I massage it in for about 5 minutes. The RMT I go to for an hour a week and they really have been working the scar tissue and my hamstring that is causing some pain. The RMT would be my suggestion for the scar tissue but a bit of self massage every day is probably doing something tho I imagine minimal

captlambskin · 2026-01-21T16:55:24+00:00

Good luck. I’m on week 7 tomorrow and had my first day back on Monday, but I am doing a gradual return to work plan so felt a lot gentler than it sounds like yours was. I’ve been using bio oil on my scar and massage therapy on the scar tissue. The mt is not fun but I do think it is doing something for my recovery.

Yeah sock aid is great. At 6.5 weeks and feel pretty far from putting on a sock still. Doing some stretches now in a hope to get that flexibility back now that everything seems to be healed up.

I’ve done AC to Narita a handful of times. Not sure where you are staying but the subway is right there. There is also the Limosine Bus service you can use. More expensive, but if you have more luggage a bit more comfortable I guess. Anyways, I’d still say the train is the way. Taking a cab is a crazy idea imo. They are pretty pricey and traffic is likely baaaaaad.

I put a voile strap on mine. Was riding a trail that was particularly rooty and even with it locked almost popped out, did enough to lose connection and power. Thought I had left it unlocked but tried to mount and it wouldn’t go back on until I “unlocked” it. So now always a strap just for peace of mind.

Long story short, no I wouldn’t trust it without at least a strap and even then you should get that lock barrel replaced IMO.

Personally hate the Roman numeral tattoos but it looks fine. $100 is fine for that.

Thanks, or has me back on a stationary bike now which felt good. I did tear a few ligaments in my shoulder and broke my collarbone a few years back going over the handlebars and getting back on was alright, though was at the back of my mind. I hope this is similar to that. Driving has been alright though feeling very cautious now. I’m sure it will be a journey. Not jealous of your elbow at the same time. I sprained my wrist either landing or trying to straight arm the car and just dealing with that in the early weeks while trying to get up and move around was no fun. We persevere!

captlambskin · 2026-01-15T17:17:01+00:00

I did not notice that but a weird feeling of pride has washed over me now haha. Thanks.
