Am sure I'm going to be fine and most importantly in time to teach my ladies only MTB course at the start of July. And no, I don't need any assistants.

Overcoming difficulties of any sort deserves respect. Your situation might not be as bad as the one armed rider, but it's still very deserving of respect.
I'm so glad you're healing though

Glad you're on the mend (but YUCK :shock: ) and will be disppointed if we don't get to see the scar in July

Hay, there is nothing wrong with grip shifter!

I think the idea of a thumb extension is a good one, especially if could build one into a glove?

Anyhoo, hope you are back on form soon!

adidas goalkeeper gloves used to have plastic inserts in the fingers when i used to play football to save getting your fingers bent back but it would still allow you to bend your fingers and make a fist, a bit of looking about on the internet might throw up a couple ideas into that although maybe a thimble in the thumb of a glove would give you the extra few mm's needed to shift gear as normal, saves making component changes if you can just adjust some gloves.

thats a sore one mate, glad its healing up for you, and its always good to see such positivity from something like this.
