Jim,
If you could use a trainer let me know I have one that you could borrow.
Let me know how it goes. I have a 56cm hillborne and live knoxville also.
Would love to ride with you when you have recuperated
Good Luck,

I had a first gen Bombadil, and while waiting for my 2.0 Quasi-Moto tires
to arrive, I borrowed my friends 2.3 Neo-Motos and shoehorned them in. They
cleared the frame all 'round but with some questionably tight gaps. If you
slapped the truth out of a rim, there would be rubbing to pay.
I have a setter basically identical to the second one you linked. It has
worked really well for me especially compared to the cheapo plier types.
I made a wallet with snaps nearly 6 years ago and they have been flawless
