  oh right, dont think ill be here my entire life to be honest, the culture here is just a bit different to most places for some reason, man i shout every time i see a fixed gear haha!
  53-12 is pretty rad i mean they named them self after a gear ratio, but there perfectionists in there like make everything run perfectly whereas colchester cycles (opposite wilkinsons) i use when i need my dirt jump bike fixed, dont know why i use two different shops but hey.
  that sounds brilliant! il end up going in there and make him do something wrong just to see him slap himself!

  Seek proper medical advice, speak to your doctor or physio.

  will be doing this but in colchester not many people understand fixed gear bikes!

  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

  Yo as I posted a couple of weeks ago I've severely fractured my talus (main bone in foot) in 4 places and I'm bored, I've been riding on a turbo trainer with my cast on lightly so I dont completely become fat and useless.
  I have now decided to build up an old frame to keep me occupied and am looking for some cheap parts, remaining parts I need are
  Bb
  Crankset
  Pedals
  And a deep wheelset (less than £80)
  If you have anything I might be interested in let me know
  Also seller will need to post for obvious reasons...
