After a lekker fall from the roof when the top step on the ladder broke. Together with a piece of paving, lekker drs and x-rays bills, bloody sore body and a few roasties.436e2936cdfe1b00e2ae523da5f8781a.jpg

After having some serious breast pain for the last 3 weeks went to the doctor today and I have some serious inflammation in my breast bone from the fall. Costochondritis is inflammation of the junctions where the upper ribs join the costal cartilage that attaches them to the breastbone (sternum). Costochondritis causes localized chest wall pain and tenderness that can be reproduced by pushing on the involved cartilage in the front of the rib cage.

I feel for you bud, it's a long road to recovery with this depending on the severity.

I managed to go OTB and then hug a rock with my chest a few years ago and I actually heard the cartilage rip. I was out for 3 months and it makes broken ribs look like a joke. Then in December I some how managed to punch the zipper of a life jacket into my Sternum and aggravated the old injury, another month on not being able to breath properly.

Hey, that is my old bike! Loved that build, the El Guapo bars n stem are pretty fun and the MRP and Curas work so well. That fork has made me buy an MRP for my 29'r and ditch my pike. 

 

The Slaughter is a legendary bit of rubber for the back but up front I'd be slipping a Spez Eliminator 2.6 on for sure. Not sure if the rear mud guard is still on there but get one of these plastic mud guards and attach it to the chainstays by the pivot, there is a open hole in the linkage that fills up with dirt if you're not careful. Google it and you'll see the way people have got it covered. Other people have cut a bit of high density rubber / foam and sued it as a plug.

Enjoy the KMs on the Commie it'll keep you smiling the whole way down (and climbs pretty good as well).

Pain comes and goes, but when meds are worked out, it's flippen really really really really really really sore.

Droo built her up today. I got home a little late to go out for a maiden voyage, so it will happen tomorrow morning.

 

First impressions, it's moer long, moer slack, and moer heavy! You also sit on top of the bb which should be awesome on long climbs!

 

The red stem will be replaced with a black one once I settle on the right length.
