You'll notice that the bolt to the right has sheared in half, making it impossible to keep the two sections of the clamp that secure the seat to the post together, ensuring that for the second time this year, my seat has disappeared while riding.It happened this morning while out for a daybreak spin around NA, so it wasn't catastrophic. I'll be mailing the pieces back to Performance, and borrowing Diana's seat (again) to commute this week.
I know I'm a fat guy ... but this is getting ridiculous. I'm thinking of taking a spare clamp assembly on the Euro trip -- but I couldn't very well pack an extra post.

Plan on riding this afternoom when I get home from work.
Now let's think back to that 5# slab of beef on your plate Saturday!

Tommy: Thanks for the offer - I have another saddle I can use, and I'm going to return the bolt (I have something else to return, anyway).
Made it home without incident.
iamhoosier: Got me on that, although I didn't finish the steak (and a cold pork chop) until Sunday, 12:30 am.
Roger I tried calling you, just get a Stainsteel bolt, I guarantee you it will not brake. Ace Hardware for less than a dollar.
Got it, okay -- but I'm still sending the broken one back as a matter of principle.
