It’s easier to avoid the stump.

Ah, the stump. My old friend, the scars and injuries you’ve given me... may we never meet again.

I’m fixing the effects of cumulative “teaching moments” I experienced over the summer. The worst was a thread-the-needle exercise between two stumps, where on a fast downhill right I mistimed my cadence. My right crank arm pole vaulted me knee first into the granite rip-rap to the left of the trail. That left a mark.

When I switched my crankset/bottom bracket, I ended up having to having to take it to my LBS to get the bottom bracket out. The “fake” side came out easily, but I could get no purchase on the other side at all. LBS has to use a giant wrench a ton of force to break it free (thanks Bicycle World !). So much nicer when I got the new stuff in though, both for not being worn, and for being better than what I had originally.
