    Anyone have a 90 or 100 mm stem with about a 16 degree rise that fits skinny bars they don't need or want to sell?
    I've got a 100mm but I think it's a 10 degree rise. I'll check tonight.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Thanks for the bike offers. I should know a lot more after tomorrow morning.

    The extra 10mm might make the 10 degrees work. I'll look at the bike more this weekend. I've got a 16 degree 90 mm stem that's oversized and a 100 mm 6 degree stem, so between the 2 of them I should probably be able to figure out where exactly I want the handlebar.

    I guess I could just buy a new oversized handlebar, but the stem seems like a cheaper part to switch.

    I have no apparent fractures. It could be tendonitis but the doctor thinks it's a ganglion cyst. I go for an MRI next week and then we take it from there. If it is a cyst I could be looking at surgery. For now, I'm free to do whatever I can tolerate. This ride could be a go!

    Yay! Glad to hear it. Sort of. Glad you may be able to ride, but I hope you don't need surgery. My sister had surgery for a ganglion cyst.

    How did that work out for her?

    Okay, I guess....she was a dental hygenist...had to retire on a disability because of it (repetitive use issues). Now, she's got her master's and she's a grade school math teacher.
    But the wrist is okay -- some ergonomic adjustments needed around the home with her computer and such, and her mtb has front shocks to cushion the wrist.

    I'm glad it's not a fracture!
