I have a Raleigh Array with solid touring fork , on a rough cycle track the bike is very bouncy on the front end giving me pain in my elbows . That's partially why I changed the bike for a big bear . But the forks as they are are just the same as the solid fork. They are not bottoming out ...

Ok will do if I can.
