Why is pinning contra-indicated for cyclists and weightlifters? Conservative cast treatment may leave you with a deformity if the alignment is off. Lucky you didn't break all four.mikesbytes wrote:After much discussion based on my main two sports, they decided not to pin it and it is now set in a plastic open cast thing. What I didn't know was that it had multiple breaks and its a punch break, like you lost your temper and punched a wall. Perhaps I was still holding the handlebar and punched the ground?

They didn't regard that I'll loose any grip strength. I'm going to follow it up. We should discusssogood wrote:Why is pinning contra-indicated for cyclists and weightlifters?

But it does sound like a hard race if only 7 were left out of 25 in the bunch, usually C stays together.toolonglegs wrote:Hey Mike...well I would have been no use at hefron today...it was windy and a good turn out (25ish)...but I got dropped at 4 to go and there were only 7 left ahead of me.My av for the 34mins was 178/max 190 and I was only at the back.2 went away quite early and stayed away...I think my performance has more to do with lack of fitness than a hard race,but still must of been reasonably hard.
Yeh I suck in the wind, so it would of been good practice for me.

Dangerous to ride in front of the grade cap.toolonglegs wrote:Sorry I am not sure...there was a big guy sprinting for 3rd but i dont think it is who you mean.It was the old boy on the cannondale (grade cap i think)and another guy who rode away...welcome to B grade!.
The big guy Mike was talking about rides a blue Trek IIRC.
