I was having unknown knee issues that hurt worse when I went easy. I went to a doc who was team doc for 88 Olympic luge team, and he recommended stretching and this strap. It was amazing--my knee was better in like three days. I have to ice the $%^& out of it after a long hard ride, but its 100% better. jd brad,

I've had knee problems for the past two months, got professionally fitted, saw a physical therapist and everything. I wasn't seeing any improvement so I finally said 'fuck it', I'm going to fix this. Adjusted my cleats to rotate my heel in a bit further to match my neutral position while walking, and the pain/inflammation was 90% gone, just like that. My muscles are still adjusting to the new position, but now I can feel that I'm getting better. Just a thought - recheck everything you thought was set...it could simply be mechanical... Brad,

You will be back so that we can kill people together. Shake and Bake brother, shake and bake. No Magic Man, just shake it and bake it. Thinking about you buddy. Say some prayers for me so that I don't die on Sunday. Gotta go to Ace now. Brad, you will come back. You will be back so that we can kill people together. Shake and Bake brother, shake and bake.
