Moderator DirtyDT Posted May 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2013 I didn't know you played!Mind you, if you need someone to use the TDR for the summer, just give me a call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted May 20, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2013 On a more serious note 'mate'. I am practicing with quite an effective anti theft device. I currently have both levers on the right bar of the dt. Bit of a headfuck to use to begin with but its improving. Might swap to a thumb brake and use the lever for the clutch. On the tdr. Not looking foreward to tommorow. General theory is dont do what hurts which is the bike.........worried..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted May 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2013 So throttle, front brake and clutch all operated with the right hand? That sounds scary. Could you cable the rear brake lever to the front brake and ignore the rear brake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted May 20, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thats why i was thinking thumb brake on the front. Or linking front and rear on the foot lever but that would spoil the essence of the tdr. You can get dual levers too. Its a common mod on nabd bikes. Seen it plenty of times at the nabd rallies. Its more to see if i can ride with the clutch on my right. Cos thats ok Also whatever i do i need to be able to do to the dt and the tdr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted May 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2013 DT is cable front brake and TDR is hydraulic. Is that right? Going make it hard to get the same set up on both. That and the difference in bars etc. Interesting problem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirriePete Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Tennis elbow? Yep, got that but the physioterrorists are working on me, the standard NHS flexing exercises and that's about it, so ...... Bit of research and I came across the Tyler Twist. £12 or so for a rubber bar from Amazon and it seems to be working. If all else fails, the missus can use it for more 'entertaining' purposes .....

Not sure how it works mot and insurance wise either. Need to do some checks i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator mervin Posted May 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2013 Try a Honda C90 no clutch !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted May 20, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2013 As i understand it john its a parting gift from my old suzuki. Because of the tuning she had a bitch of a clutch. Really heavy. That and the vibes. Thing is most of the pains went when my carpel tunnel was done. But..... Turns out that was a stopgap. Downsizing to the tdr hid the issue. Now opening a pint of milk hurts and clutch work in traffic gets so bad i cant pull the lever. Fixes....... find out tomorrow And no its got fk all to do with tennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted May 21, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2013 Well that was a waste of time. Apparently its golf elbow. Quite common just stop what makes it hurt and in 6 to 8 weeks i will be fine. So i explains the capel tunnel. Long time issue. Tried all the tricks to help then.' Oh maybe a support will help.' Halfwit. When i told him its worse on my bike. Which i use for work and pleasure. He didnt blink. Not for the next couple of months your not. I have made an appointment with a doc at the surgury i respect but i think modifying the bike is my only long term option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Sorry to hear that Cynic, not much you can do but rest it I'm afraid, which when you think about it is not a lot of use if you want to ride to work!!! You will just have to wait for the muscle to heal. I think your about to say something rude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted May 21, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2013 You better believe it. I think its more than this poxy elbow stuff. I had 6 weeks using the car when the dt blew till the weather was good enough for the tdr. That should have fixed it already according to the docs theory. And grouch recons he has problems....
