<p>sure, you can address it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1- make sure the shifting is as smooth as possible, replace the last section of berailler housing, it always has dirt in it. consider a goretex cable upgrade</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2- get some gloves with a lot of padding</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3- let air out of the front shock until you bottom out a few times every ride, you need a shock pump to get it right</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4- let air out of the tires until they are soft, maybe 20-25 psi for you</p>
<p> </p>
<p>that will help. mtb is rough on the hands, i have been riding a singlespeed w/o a front suspension fork and it's tough on the finger joints</p>
