When you get run over buy a drunk peice of white trash in a cane truck I will try to have better manners than to make truly absurd suggestions when you want to figure out how to get on the spin with warped garbage for knees. (given that you survive). Did you actually read the whole post? In the mean time you might want to get a magazine subscription or two and educate yourself about the equipment.
Surprisingly enough, women who ride aquire park tools and workstands and shop manuals. And six bikes. And information. I was looking for my own kind here.
excussse me... I've been rear ended twice, and started out mountain biking on a modified bike that was fit specifically to address my pain issues.
I don't' wrench on my own bikes, I work with a few lbs guys that treat me right and have helped me a lot; people like me support people like you that work in the shops.

here's a tip about web forums: you may not always get the answers you seek. That's just the way of it. Not everyone will know what you know, but dont' slam people just becuase you didn't get the information you wanted.

For others, after about four years, I've been able to go to much better aggressivve geometry and rarely have pain any more. I do keep up on the chiropractic and massage tho.
