duude relax. I was getting at those must be some hella bumpy roads to cause the CT. I'm not looking for a justification. If the CT was caused by riding it would be b/c of position. I now know it's a pre-existing condition.. I too am on the computer all day but did spend 6 years on the bike full time...and had the CT pain you speak of, changing my position fixed it. Short of some serious suspension I'm thinking no amount of gear will get that pain gone. Deal with the CT pain via a doctor, and riding will become painfree as will the rest of your time. There is no need to live with the pain.

I'm sorry you feel I was being a hoser towards you, certainly not the intention.
