Did you try spinning the tire a round the hub?

Welcome to the club. Did you fall off a cliff? I got hit by a car and flipped and skidded through a large intersection and broke my tib/fib. Iām at six months post surgery and biking almost daily to regain movement and strength. I can ride a board, tried for the first time three weeks ago, but left turns are somewhat hard (heel side) due to muscle atrophy, itās harder to control. Good luck on the recovery!

I could have, but then the MBS logo wouldnāt match up with the valve stem, which it does on the other 3 tires.

Chop the valve stem off. Problem solved.

Thanks for the advice! I am not exactly sure what happened but my board came out from under me at a rather slow speed. Not 20m from my front door.
I am glad to hear about you back doing activities after 6 months. I keep getting varied information. All I know is Iām 1 week into this injury and I have a long way to go. But Iām optimistic

Iām at 5 months after I needed my left hip pinned and now have a titanium rod in. I can ride, but like Mike stated, the strength is not there yet.
Wishing you a speedy one, dude!

I wrote this to someone else on April 12, 2021. Good reference for anyone who has a tib/fib fracture I guess
"Took a look at my planner where I log my progress.
The first two weeks were the worst, every time I get up it felt like blood was rushing into the injured bits and stretching out the bone and skin, The doctor took of my splint and gave me a boot at my 2 week check up when the staples were removed. It helped a lot when moving around as it prevented the pain thatās there when soft healing bones shifts before it hardens.
Stayed in bed with leg elevated most of the time for the first month.
I was on crutches from week 2 up until week 11 where I started using a cane (remember to have the cane on you good side when walking).
Week 6, I was able to comfortably drive (I broke the left leg) and hobble around to get groceries. Always wearing compression sock and the boot when Iām out and moving just as a protection from bumps. Compression sock all day until bed time.
Week 11, put away the crutches and started using a cane, also when I stopped using the boot.
Week 12, I stopped using a shower chair, I was using it to swiveling in and out of the tub before standing up on the good leg.
At the end of week 14, I was limping around without a cane and just had it with me just in case.
Week 15 I was walking up and down the stairs one step at a time holding railings (remember to go UP using the GOOD leg first, go DOWN with the BAD leg first.
Week 16 I officially stopped having the cane near me and was limping around.
Week 17 I actually took a road trip to the Redwoods up north and was perfectly fine with the 11 hour drive with a few short stops. I even hiked (slowly) the whole week, canāt climb over boulders thoughā¦get and wear COMPRESSION SOCKS!!! Keeps the swelling down.
Week18 I started riding an analog bike again to work on building the atrophied leg muscles back up. I can only ride on flat grounds since I shouldnāt push that hard yet
Week 20 I was walking with noticeably less limp. I can pass for normal if I took smaller steps!
"
May 15, 2021: Iām at week 25 now (6 months + 1 Week), I biked a total of 70 miles this past week. I can stand and balance on the bad leg for a long time and not feel where the break was, I just noticed this on Tuesday. Going up the stairs has been normal, but going down is still both leg on the same step before starting the next step. If tried to do it normal, itās a small hop. Hope this helps

This is really kind of you to provide. Iāve never broken a bone and this whole experience has been painful and terrifying. I get people want to give good news but itās so much better to know whatās actually going to happen during my recovery.
I am not getting a boot apparently and I tried walking on crutches for the first time yesterday. The pain had me in tears within minutes. This doesnāt seem to be on the same schedule as you so Iām not going to dwell on the fact I can nearly move at the moment.
I just wanted to go out for a skate this whole experience sucks
