Thanks for all the great ideas! I may have to take a trip to my LBS, have them fix my pedals (take the floppy plastic foot things off) and play touch and feel with their handlebar/grip/bar end options. The configuration of my 7.6 is wonderful, I no longer have the back/leg issues that I had riding my 20 yo mountain bike, it's down to hand issues now, which i'm hoping will be an easy fix trying out some of these great suggestions
