Hi! I fractured my greater tuberosity in two places and the surgical neck of the humerus! I don’t know,but I suspect I tore my supraspinatus! I am 6mos post injury. I and finished with therapy but I am still recovering with daily exercises! BecauseI HAVE not had an MRI,I really do not know the status of the rotator cuff muscles. But the bones had to heal and stabilize first So, I may get an MRI in two months if my shoulder is still hurting! I really do not want surgery but it may be necessary. Thanks for your video! You will be much better in 6months! I am older and want to use my right(dominant) arm for playing the cello! I do 1pound weight exercises and the rubber bands and active stretches , pulleys and my arm feels much better with these daily exercises! But swimming is not good overhead! Ok for the breast stroke! So the recovery goes on!👏 All information helps!🥰👏✅❤️
Did you have to offset that rear flow wheel for it to fit? Awesome video and agree with every upgrade you said. These are the exact same upgrades I have on my two bikes as well haha. One thing to note though with that air wedge that I have noticed though is if pump it up to much the battery charger connector smashes into the frame so be careful of that, don't want the charger connector to bend in. I put a CM thick rubber pad on the opposite side so it stays pushed away from the front side.
Hey thanks for the comment! Thats awesome we both have 2 bikes ;) Great tip on the Air Wedge I will pay attention to where it's at next time. I haven't had any issues yet but better safe than sorry. Yes. when I got the flow wheel it came 'Dished' to the side to not rub on the knobbies👍
@@clu801 its blah lol i jeep hearing it. It got to me lol i just bout the 72v surge. So i been binge watching stuff on the torp and the batteries. Btw im a huge torp supporter
Thanks! I appreciate it. I would say go for it! If you like to do it why not? I enjoy making the vids, it gives me reasons to ride and work on upgrades or editing. I just enjoy it.
Good tips. A direct mount stem is also a reasonably cheap upgrade - stops the old school handlebar slip/twist and adds strength. Riser mounts and/or spacers can get you up to 3" rise with stock bars - then riser bars can go higher - just remember the length of brake and electrical cables if you're maxing it or thinking "chopper Surron".
Yes, this is one of the reasons I have not gone to a direct Mount stem yet, is because my brake cables are definitely not long enough. I had to move the brake levers in just going to the riser handlebar. So I will wait until I get new brakes and I’ll get a direct stem mount as well at the same time.
I would say the big difference would be that there is more wiggle room where the spring goes in the Amazon footpegs, this lets the spring move side to side and can come undone, which I solved by just putting a ziptie in there so the spring will not move back and forth. Other than that, I couldn't really see a difference. My cheap footpegs have held up great.
Your videos are very informative! I am at the 5 week mark, but still in the sling. My next doctor visit is on July 22 where I believe will be the day the sling comes off. It’s great to see that yours came off at week 5, since typically they say 6 weeks. I have been going to therapy since day 2 post surgery doing all passive exercises. This week I started doing chest presses with the plastic pvc pipe. It’s crazy how tight and achy my shoulder is. Did you feel the same at this mark? I always get concerned about tearing it again with how achy and tight it feels when doing the exercises. Were you also immediately able to drive after the sling came off and did you drive back to work at this time too? Thank you in advance for taking time out to answer my questions.
Hi, thanks for watching and your kind words! Yeah, my sling off at 5 weeks was nice. I definitely started PT later than you. At 5 weeks my shoulder was very tight and I, like you, was super paranoid about re-injury. The tightness and soreness is totally normal. Easy for me to say, but I know you will still be worried. It's part of the recovery ;) I did drive right after the sling came off. It wasn't too bad. Just have to be mindful of everything going on. Keep your spirits up! that is the best thing I can offer. It is very depressing to not be able to do things. But time will go by quicker and quicker as you go and next thing you know you will be back to your old self! I wish you the best! God bless!
Appreciate the reply and answering my questions. It’s very encouraging to hear that I am on the road to recovery. Also, happy to see in your later videos your progress and full recovery! God Bless
I am not sure what that is to be honest. I used a pulley to raise my arm up to help with my range of motion. If that is what you mean. But I don't know about a chair like that, Interesting though.
Nice! thanks for the comment! I am glad you found the videos to be helpful. Keep at it and you will be through it before you know it! Good luck on the rest of your recovery!
I rode my first trail the other day in Portland, OR and some of the bikers were incredibly triggered. It wasn't technical or steep like these trails, just lots of switchbacks and weaving up through some cool terrain. We ride respectfully of people walking and biking and always slow down and give lots of room, but no matter how reasonable we ride there's always two or three trail Karens.
I am guessing the trail was approved for Moto? Sounds fun for sure! Here the bikers are pretty reasonable. I still run into a few Karen’s here and there, but for the most part people are pretty cool.
Tell them you're disabled and you're testing a new environmentally friendly single track wheelchair - they'll love that sh1t is Portland. If they say anything else negative, just call them race-ist.
Thank you. I am almost 5 weeks after suegery- Supraspinatos full tear reoair and Bicepts. I a vey actice person, and you sure ahare a hopefull message. Greetings from Israel.
Thank you for your comment! I am so glad the videos help give people hope. There is a light at the end of that dark tunnel. You go this! Keep your spirits up and you have my best wishes on your recovery! God bless!
Thank you for the comment, and I am sorry you are going through this recovery! At least you are past the worst part and everyday will get better little by little. Hang in there and you have my best wishes on a speedy recovery! God Bless!
haha Nice! I know the exact scene you are talking about. He is coming up that hill bouncing and passing the shed. What a great movie! Thank for the comment!
if you want to put your kickstand on you should remove some dish from that wheel. I see a large gap between the chain and tire. If you take some of that dish out your kickstand will not rub. My 18 inch doesn't rub the kickstand with the k990 Tire or the Kenda Kassic Which are the same size as your tire
Are you using the stock kickstand? I was also thinking the bike would just tip over since it is much taller. Honestly I haven't been to upset with not having the kickstand. I thought I would be super bummed. But it's not that bad.
@@clu801 Yes using stock kickstand. However, I used a 1 inch hole saw bit and took it to a hockey puck And then screwed it to the bottom of the kickstand as a riser. Counter sunk the screw in the bottom of the hockey puck. It works great now
I’m thinking of getting a pro ss or a talaria for commuting to school and gym in west valley and Taylorsville but is it even worth it at this point? Or would I just get my bike impounded?
Here is the thing. I think it could be worth it if you try to register it. They are great bikes for that purpose. Here are the things to think about. If you register it. You will have to pay taxes on it, insure it, etc. Also another thing to consider is that Sur-ron's have an actual VIN / Serial that can show up in the database making them much easier to register than other bikes. Keep that in mind. If all this sounds like way too much to deal with, its probably not worth.
Hey I got a question I rode by a police yesterday saw him slowed down and went on sport mode he waved me down and said that they are illegal and that if he sees me again he will impound it how strict is Utah cops getting I just want to ride my bike on the street and stunt it I’ve thought about buying an upgraded razor rsf any thoughts????
I feel like there are so many e-moto's out there now they can't just ignore it anymore. I used to ride by cops all the time with no issue. I think the safest thing to do now would be to try and get it registered. As for stunting. Lol that is very risky since they will hit you with a reckless driving citation which can be very expensive.
Anyone reading this now , he is spot on , had the same major full tear Supra , surgeon did 3 direct anchors with one additional on each side for suture securing . So 5 total. First 2 weeks impossible to sleep much it sucked big time. But turned corner in week 3 some and now I'm about 4 1/2 weeks out And taking the sling off to do gentle swings and circles and I can tell the shoulder is healing is feels good and is ready for PT. About 10 more days with the sling . It is what it is, get comfortable wearing it, best thing is you get a lot of sympathy from people out and about! Lol . We moved during my recovery so Imagine that, I did a shit-ton with one arm and you will adapt to everything as well one arm in time . To all Worried , don't be . Just realize it's gonna be a rough go for a couple weeks and you will feel so much better day after day , and from I'm told , you will get 💯 again ! Just have to be cautious your activity and risk (mountain biking , skiing , ect.. ) because I can tell you, you won't want to go through it again ! ✌️
Hey thanks for the comment! First, I am sorry you are going through it. It has to be the worst thing I have endured. Second, you can get back to 💯. Here I am many years later and I don't even think about it when I am out riding dirt bikes or playing sports. Since this surgery I have broken my opposite collar bone and still didn't really think about the rotator until I was recovering from the collarbone break. It was like 5% of the anguish of the rotator, and I was in a good mood most of the time because I knew it would be a cake walk in comparison. So yeah, hang in there, do the things they tell you to do and be religious about it. I wish you the best on your recovery! God bless!
Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience. I have been following along your videos since I decided to get rotator cuff surgery. I’m at 8 and half months post op. I had frozen shoulder after surgery, so the surgery had to do manipulation after anesthesia at 4 and half months post op. I had been making great progress since the second surgery. How much weight can you lift at 8 or 9 months post op? I lifted and moved a bike rack( about 25 pounds) with both arms from the garage to the car trunk and pushed with my right arm ( surgery shoulder side) and I had been experiencing pain and soreness for almost a week. I still went biking for 65K in the mountains that day and did a big hike yesterday. I thought I would be better by now, but I’m still in pain. 😭 I’m so worried that I might have retorn the tendon. My surgeon is away so I’ll have to see another doctor next week. I’m so worried and really hope that I didn’t retear the tendon. Could you please give me some insight?
Hello! I am so sorry you are going through it right now. It's super scary to think about re-injury. I am pretty sure I was lifting 15lbs around then. I know I overdid it a few times and was sore and super worried. Think about where the pain is. Is it right where the repair was? Or is it more muscle. I know its hard to tell but I would imagine that you just strained your muscle/tendon and its sore. I am not the Dr. or an expert by any means. I know when I was scared my Dr. told me I would know if it was re-injured. That didn't really comfort me, how could he be so sure. I was scared to death because its the worst thing ever to go through. I suggest taking it easy on your shoulder for a bit. Make sure to take some anti-inflammatory meds. Ice it more often. See how it comes along. You have my best wishes! Good luck and God bless!
@@clu801 Thank you so much for your reply! Your words did comfort me a bit, however, I’m still scared as it had been a week and I am still in pain. I did ask my surgeon and physiotherapist a few times as what would cause retear. They both said a sudden fall and have my arm stretch out and land on the arm or shoulder would cause retear. When I’m thinking of my pain, it feels like it’s all over my shoulder and neck and back. Sometimes it does feel the surgical area is painful too. Sometimes the pain goes all the way to my forearm and fingers. I’m not getting any better today and I’m extremely scared. I don’t know if the hike would cause more strain on my shoulder since I had to use my shoulders quite a bit with hiking poles. We still got so much snow in the mountains(Canada). I saw my chiropractor last Thursday and he said that I strained a bit and had shockwave treatment. I’m seeing him tomorrow again and see what he says. I’m seeing another surgeon on Thursday and really hope that she would say the same thing. I really appreciate your kind words and wishes. I’ll update with you after I see the surgeon. Thanks again! Kayla
@@clu801Hi! I just want to update with you regarding my doctor visit. Good news is that she said i did not ruin the repair as I did not lose any strength. She said that’s the best indicator that I didn’t retear the tendon. She also said that the pain might last up to 6 weeks. Because what I have been through (having frozen shoulder and had to go through manipulation under anesthesia) would put me full recovery up to 1 year and half. I’m getting better and have to be more patient. My recovery got delayed than most patients. Patience, patience, and patience is the key! Thank you again and I’ll keep positive attitude!
Thanks for sharing, im 8 months now and can do everything you're doing , I'm a caregiver and are scared to go back to work i don't know if i will hurt myself again when i go back, am still a little sore.
I totally get it, it is scary to think about re-injury. Be sure to ask people for help. You would be surprised how much help you will get. Hang in there and you will be doing great. God bless!
@clu801 some people will help, while some will hide when I need help I can't find them. My doctor wants me to wait a little longer. Thanks for responding.
Yes, I am sure you would. If you want 100% guarantee, reach out to them. They are great at responding communication. Remember they are in Croatia so it may be next day. 👍
they are both 2022 LBX. My son's bike at the time of this video had a Torp TC500 controller. The rest is all cosmetic (seat cover, graphics, handlebar, footpegs, etc) His bike now has my 16/19 wheelset and a 3/4" riser on the rear shock.
Hi, thanks for watching! I am back to the way I was before. I rarely think about that shoulder and the injury. As much as a nightmare it was it was worth it for me. If you are planning on doing the surgery or have done it already you have my best wishes.
prety sure the plug that came out is for the segway version with bluetooth module this plug is not conected to anithing on the surrons so dont worry its fine
Yeah, I am fully recovered now. Thanks for asking 👍 I was on my MTB passing an elderly couple on a bike trail, and I said "On your left" the lady went to the left and I had to crash to avoid hitting her. I outstretched my hands to brace for the fall and my left side slid and the right stuck and tore my rotator. 😒
Totally agree, can be made for way cheaper. A) if you have a welder, B) if the cost for you time is still less than buying it. :) It is a great item for sure!
You are definitely not alone. I am sorry you are going through this, and the only comfort I can bring is that it WILL get better. You WILL be glad you did it down the road. You have my best wishes on your recovery! God bless!
Yes! Totally. Not many people want to mess around with taking the front wheel off but it makes putting in your car a ton easier! Also look for a video from me releasing tomorrow about a hitch carrier I got that makes taking my bike anywhere even easier. If i want to take 2 Surrons now I can put one in the back of my RAV and one on the carrier.
Thank you! Starting 8 weeks now and this was very encouraging to watch. Same as you, noticing pain in other shoulder and NOT interested in even having an MRI 😂. No way can I even think about going through those first 3 weeks again or even what I’m doing now even.
I am glad the videos help! Its been 4 years and I have been doing much better on that 'other' shoulder. Doing exercises and things every now and then, or if I feel it. So ya, no way I am getting that surgery again! Good luck with the rest of your recovery! You got this!
Yes there is a motor direction option in there. If you have the app its under the motor tab "Motor Direction" you have the choices of "CW" clockwise and "CCW" counter clockwise. Just change it to the setting other than what you have and you should be good to go.
I am pretty sure they are limiting it because of the motor. The stock motor does not do well beyond 15kw. I wish I had another motor to test that. The closest thing I have is the KO controller with will let me push it up to 24kw ( max current is 400A * 60v = 24kw ) My battery also tops out at 24kw. I have only set it at that once for a short time. Its crazy and the motor instantly gets hot.
