Current bike i'm using is a full aluminium bike. Have already switched to 700 x 28 tires to help, but it only seems to be able to do so much. I know switching to full carbon will help, but its out of my budget for now though.

Is there any other way to help dampen these vibrations or make the ride smoother?

Thanks!
