Okay so at physio I was told that riding on flat ground or road was good exercise if I didn't over do it, But no MTB of any kind.
Ive been doing around 6 to 10 miles a day, So nothing to much tbh, And so all was going really well.
Then today my rear detailer decides to shear off and throw its self into my spokes, Causing the rear end to lockup as I was riding downhill !
I had cars behind me so i thought (as I was sliding along) "Jump the kerb" It worked as I avoided been hit from behind by any vehicles, But in doing that I failed to clear the kerb fully, Lost balance and landed quite heavily on my left hand.
No cuts or scratches just a very hard shock to my shoulder, Hard enough for me to visit A&E, Luckily no breaks this time just another torn shoulder muscle and lots of pain from the impact, Also a stern warning "Not" to ride at all for at least another 3 months.
The thing i don't understand is how does a detailer shear when going downhill ? Id have thought if anywhere it would happen going uphill due to there been more tension on the chain set !
I checked the bike before i set off and all seemed good, I only serviced it last weekend as well, You know the Wash, Wipe,Oil, Tighten, Check, Wipe again and finish with a smug proud grin type of service.
