By way of background, I am propertly fit on a aluminum tri-bike. I love the fit and the ride - my lower back, however, does not. Major back pain following any ride of 50-plus. I can run through it, but it ain't pleasant. I've been contemplating a softride, but wonder whether there is another alternative. I've been reading about the dampening affect of carbon components (such as seat posts) and frames. Any thoughts on whether this could be a solution? And yes, I stretch before and after every ride, so much that I should be a yogist. I also do routine core body exercises.
