One thing I struggle with(and clearly you don't) is riding a bike with my knee bent beyond about 80 degrees without the back of the prosthetic digging into the back of my knee. Is your bike leg cut down at the back?

It is but it still pinches due to the socks balling up. The titanium pin in my thigh and the 3 screws holding my hip together have just about ruled me out of riding sports bikes now, 30 minutes and the pain just about becomes unbearable.

It's my "good" leg that stops me doing the running/cycling stuff, my ankle/foot/toes and lower leg had crush and splinter fracture injuries.

Respect to the pair of you, most people would never go near a bike Vs enduring that amount of pain/discomfort.

Has Tight5 bought a Yellow One then?

We're using standard pads which seem to be Ok on track. I think I'll do the ABS delete on mine, just remove the linked lines and fit 3 new separate line and leave all the ABS stuff in place like I did with the Fireblade.
