yo,
its been a couple of months since ive posted on here, if you dont want to read my boring story then the question is:
will the force of a fixed gear cause damage to my ankle/talus while still recovering from an injury?
story time: im recovering from a severe talus fracture (basically the ankle but the part that is more serious to break) and AVN of the bone (partial deal due to blood vessels being cut) its been almost 4months in plaster now and soon i will be allowed back on the bike, but im not sure if fixed gear will cause problems if i return to it too soon, like should i ride freewheel or a bit until my ankle and talus is back to full strength and fully recovered, the last thing i want to do is cause more damage and have another setback
any advice/comments would be appreciated
thanks
