on a related note, my knee - and my wrist too, for that matter - have been bothering me again lately. i've tried using a brace/tensor bandage on my knee while riding, but the chafing factor makes it worse. suggestions? dan, i'm looking your direction!



ah but it is 9 degrees and rising, and i have the day off...
I've been riding with the tensor on the knee for the last 2 weeks or so. Chaffing sucks but it does help in the pain aspect. Time to see the Dr. and find out when I need surgery on this one. Knees are the one body part (well the heads get special treatment as well) that I don't mess around with.
