Hand pump in my hydration pack. BIG MISTAKE!!!!!

[Salce77]

+1 for this diet, also add cake.

My second chin and back of head fat helps support my neck during many stacks.

That is hilerious, stop making me laugh, it hurts.

Seriously though a week on and I feel alot better already. Off the crazy strong meds and am managing with Panadol. Been watching everything I can find on red bull tv to keep me sane and I've pulled the pump out of my pack and mounted it to my frame.

Cheers for all the well wishes.

Has to be one of the most common, and most painful, injuries that comes with riding MTB.

I mostly experience injury to my dignity.

Heal up fella.
I have always looked at manuals and thought "you'll just lash it up and rip your seat off the bike".
As much as the ribs hurt, consider some poor rider I saw a post for on FB where his pump fractured his spine and left him in a wheelchair. "There for the grace of whichever deity you follow.."

Back protection sounds like a great idea, as long as it's comfortable enough to ride in.

I don't understand why people are carrying shock pumps in their pack.

As for hand pumps, pffffft just wing it and leach toobs and pumps off yer fellow riders, there's always some OCD nerd who comes prepared.

It is practically as good as a neck brace! But nowhere near as ugly.

I can't see the point of the shock pump either. That stuff should be dialled in before you hit the track. I'd hate to try pump up a tube using a shock pump.

What kind of pump was it? Make and model I mean?

I take mine with me. I often adjust on location to suit what I'm riding. Most of my rides involve a mix of gravity based stuff with different activitiessuited to softer/stiffer settings. I've recently started taking a tyre gauge for similar adjustments.

But I don't wear my pack much on trail.

It's a topeak pocket rocket.

Imagine if it had been in your pocket!

It now sits secured to the frame of my bike.

This is exactly why it cringes me to think of people who wear the swat jerseys and carry all sorts of tools and shit in the pockets...

Quick healing mate.

This.....

Multi tool into the kidneys. Ouch.
