Cool. Ya still might want to ease into things. Also, consider CBD oil for pain/inflammation as an alternative to ibuprofen if you do get some pain recurring.

Almost every anti inflammatory will prevent natural cartilage repair and growth ( look up PGE2 and the COX2 pathway ), so ideally you don't want that.. it's like repeatedly throwing new tires on a car that's got a severe alignment problem.
^^this^^ only it's been a lot longer than that for me. :/neptronix said:I just wonder how many more cool things i could have built over the last couple years if i didn't feel like i was falling apart at the seams.
wturber said:CBD is not a COX2 inhibitor. I wasn't suggesting it as a curative but merely as a potentially better way to relieve inflammation and pain than the ibuprofen that you were taking ... apparently to no notable benefit.

I'm glad you're getting better, though!
neptronix said:AW, that's an interesting idea, but how strong is it? Would you run 3000 watts through it? :lol:
Wouldn't filling in the gashes with a tig welder and aluminum fill rod be as strong or stronger than the aluminum was originally? I'm no welder, but I've seen it done on shows several times.neptronix said:AW, that's an interesting idea, but how strong is it? Would you run 3000 watts through it? :lol:
neptronix said:So i figured.. before fixing the cannondale frame, i should convert the cannondale's front to a 20" wheel with a stiff fork so that i can run a moto tire on the front...however, there is no way in hell in can find the KP058 headset conversion kit to do that.
I'm quite frustrated overall.
