Tom- You are correct, when you cinch them down good and tight in a vise and whack them whith a 10-lb hammer they just fall to peices everytime. So figure if you are 195-lbs they will break even more so. d-:)~ Cheers, Dave-disclaimer signed and presentable-Anderson Cut Bank MT

       Recently acquired a bicycle with a Cinelli aluminum railed seat along with super record seatpost. Do these saddles have a high incidence of rail fracture? I weigh 195 pounds. Thank you.
