The same, football. Rougly explained - I was actively playing football (2nd Serbian youth league) for 6 years and on a match, around ~2,5 years ago and at around the end of match, the patella (kneecap) on my right knee just disclocated, gone out of it's normal place and that hurted as hell. To make thing worse, I also stretched my ligament and for fucking hells sake I also hard nerve problems on my knee after that. It's not that serious, but it's coming back from time to time, so doctor decided to try fixing it forever and I'll have to rest of sports that requires squat, active knee moving (basically all sports) for next couple of months.
I agree, better rest and be passive now and heal the injury and possibility of it coming back forever than forcing it now and risk the possibility of many future, more serious injuries.
I dislocated my knee cap 3 years ago then followed by tendinitis around the same knee. I still ride with it strapped up now, it had taken me along time to overcome it. Get well soon and if you have to do exercises to strengthen it again, do them. The biggest mistake I made was not completing the exercises the physio gave me to do at the time. Get well soon Admir

I broke my rear derailleur this morning. Not sure how, as I didn't get the time to see what was happening. I was switching rings (front derailleur then), and standing on the pedals when I heard a noise comparable to a wood branch in the spokes. I braked as fast as I could and stopped, as something was obviously blocking the rear wheel. First thought was that my air pump had fallen and somehow made its way through my rear wheel, but it was still in position when I stepped down.
Half to my surprise, it was the rear derailleur that was out of position, and the screw was visibly broken.
I suppose the chain sort of rounded around the derailleur, pulled it I don't know where and it hit the seat stays, as the scratches suggest.
The same scratches can be seen on the inner side, but the cut seems to be deeper. The carbon is almost 'punctured' there.
From the pics, I'd say the derailleur is out of order for good. I'm pissed by all the scratches and bruises it's made to the frame, but I'm wondering if it's serious (there's close to a tiny hole in the carbon). Any idea ?

If there is a real crack in the carbon it should either move when pressed or when you tap it with a hex key it will sound "dead" compared to the other parts of the frame. Have you dropped it recently at all and knocked the derailleur? Because that is a really odd place for it to break.
Also I have had cuts into what I thought was the carbon before and it has just been in the coat/paint work, carbon isn't as fragile as some think but if you are in doubt don't ride it until you get a 2nd opinion for obvious reasons

Back from the shop.
Vendor said the frame is fine, nothing to worry about. I'm still pissed by the ruined paintjob, but that's better than a broken frame.
Derailleur is, of course, out of order for good. I decided to use the opportunity to make the switch to "11 speeds" like Campy name it. One brake lever, rear derailleur, cassette and chain. Bike will be ready in a dozen of days. I can borrow my old man's one in between, so it could be worst.
Now it's just my banker who will frown...  |

Glad the frame is ok and every cloud has a silver lining
One thing you made me realise is I never shift the front derailleur while standing, in fact I very rarely shift at all when standing. Not that that should cause a problem but made me wonder about my instinctively taking to the saddle whenever I shift. |

I am always changing gear when out of the saddle, especially on steep climbs, is that a bad thing, can it do serious damage?

Judging by a quick Google, no it doesn't sound like it is a problem. It's just never occurred to me so probably something to think about and improve my efficiency. |

Once or twice a week is all I get time for or if I'm really lucky 3 times max. Probably an average of about 100km or so per week within that. |

Normally no. But I guess that with an ageing material and a chain prone to roll around the derailleur, that was bound to happen in my case.
@mowinckel91 : it's very variable, depending whether I can run or not (injuries), depending on the weather, objectives, whether I'm on holidays or not, etc.
On a random week it's generally something like one or two 1h ride in the week time, then a 3 or 4 hours ride on Saturday and a 2h ride on Sunday. Plus a lot of running and a core session on Monday evening. |

Thanks, going to ride it today, only have to figure out where some sound comes from, I hear it from time to time with riding. Not harmful though, I think. Just wanna know what it is. |
