replace fork

Quoted message said:

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with advice on knee-friendlier
gearing. I have another, similar question. My old Cannondale feels
super rigid - to the point of being uncomfortable to ride over regular
- ie. hole-filled - roads. It has an aluminum fork. Is it worth
changing it for a steel fork? Or can I get the same degree of damping
by installing some kind of padding under my bar tape?

Fatter tyres would be more effective, followed by the bar tape and
gloves, if you don't already wear them. Personally I avoid gloves
except on very long rides, but most people use them.

Try fatter tires at a slightly lower pressure than you currently ride.
