I really appreciate the help. I went to the LBS and they said they can take the "guts" out and put better "guts" in. They were closing in 10 minutes and getting ready for a group ride so I didn't have a chance to find out what the "guts" consist of. Does anyone know of a website that might have a diagram or any info on the head shok P-bone? You guys have made my day. I am feeling much better about having some choices other than not riding! Thanks mucho
