I can't remember where I bought it from, but have just snapped a fairly solid looking seat post made by a company called "Push" (might be the model name??) - could well be this one [url] http://www.wiggle.co.uk/push-alloy-seat-post/ [/url]

I'm a v light rider (9.5 stone), and only ride xc and have never had a heavy crash with this seatpost.. is it reasonable for something to fail like this (is admittedly a few years old) - it snapped about an inch above where it goes into the frame. Strange thing was I was sat down riding along a flat piece of track when it failed.

I don't mind parts breaking, but not when it's likely they might seriously injure me as a result.. whats the general consensus - MTFU and just buy another seatpost, or should I contact the manufacturer and complain?

Edit: Yep, I know it's muddy, that's what bikes are built for!
