Had one of the above replaced on warranty after one of the rails sheared in half. A few months later and the exact same thing happened again in almost the same place. Clamped in correct position and used on a 5" bike. I really like these saddles and find them very comfortable but don't want another that will just fail again. Anyone used the manganese railed version? Is it any stronger?

Mine sheared and wings snapped both sides.

I really liked the saddle but disappointed that it broke after 8-9 months and not due to crashing!

Lot of £££ for a saddle so I have just bought a Funn saddle to replace it.

Yes great in theory....

I tried it after I got sick of the SDG bel airs fabric falling off and creaking. The WTB ones I used just seem to crucify me!

Looking at the Chromag ones now they look good.........in theory!
