G'day SRFred....hmmm yer, at least here 80-90% of Nepal is organic using mostly Cow dung compost & green manure, which gets digested by the soils before being up-taken by Plants....so pretty safe I reckon No new Bike yet but we are eye balling the NIU all electric pocket Rocket

Your subject line says it all. Speedy recovery, we wish, and reinstatement of your medical!

Looks a bit like a third world procedure to me. Is this the way how it is done?

Ouch Indeed. As far as dangerous pursuits go, mountain biking ranks just above Robbie flying
Know too many guys that have done themselves rather serious injuries on bike trails.

Hey VF,

What size lockwire was that? 0.032" or 0.040"? Mountain bike way too dangerous for me; I stick to road bikes

Get well soon.

Fly Safe, Always
