    ramble, ramble, ramble........

    I dunno - I think I'm more frustrated at my lack of improvment in my arm, and I'm searching for anything that might "cure" me. Definately would be set up more like the Riv recomendation - no way I'd last 5 minutes in the butt in the air racer position.

    It does seem to hurt when my arm is in certain postions - using the brakes on my straight bars, picking up a carton of milk.
