Dampening 101

All right folks. Pony up and tell me what you know. This thread was inspired by a similar one asking advice about dampning for vibration on an aluminium bike which got me thinking ... what is the most effective way of reducing vibration? Would a good pair of gloves trump a carbon fork? Is vibration something that we are so in tune with that we can feel a direct difference between dampening materials/techniques or is the matter moreso at the end of a long ride, the fatigue is much higher? But wait! There's MORE! The first person to mention Bontrager's Bzz-Kills in either Aluminium or Brass flavour will be mailed an old riding sock, courtesy of my riding partners.

Give me some trivia and debunk a few myths about this along the way too should you feel inclined too.
