Re: Not much biking for me this summer
Ah yes...the old 'I am not overweight.....just under-tall!' ploy!shebee wrote:An increase of 1cm would be a very small step towards me being my "ideal" weight
Personally, I am a six foot person with short legs. ( 5'7" on a good day wiv knuckles scraping the floor. )
I find the standard Raptor set up suits me perfectly.
All the best to OP for a speedy recovery!
TTFN

Don't rush it, Cat.
Start too early & you could upset your recovery.
Have you considered a kidney belt?...Might add some support?

Re: Not much biking for me this summer
Lol! I've been in a immobilisation corset for a month!! I'm enjoying freedom!!! Started Physio in the swimming pool on Monday, building back up slowly. I'll wait until my leg muscles are a bit stronger before I try and ride but the idea is that this op should sort my back out permanently so theoretically once my legs and stomach are ok I should be pain free and 100%

I am pleased that the prognosis is so positive!
I meant whilst riding, for added support & guarding against further damage.
