Brooks Cambium Fail

[benford]

So I posted this on an earlier thread about Brook's Cambiums but thought that it deserved its own thread.

So this is a picture of my second Brooks Cambium C15 that I broke.

This was the second C15 within a year that I managed to 'crack'. Both failed in the same place. Seems like a major design flaw. To clarify, I weigh about 150 lbs with all my work gear on. So, not that heavy....

After the second one broke, I warrantied and just went with a Swift. Bummed that a product that has so much potential isn't as great as it is on paper.
