On Saturday I picked up my bike from my LBS, it was in for its annual overhaul. I didn't know it but the LBS had overtightened the clamp on my Campy Carbon seatpost. Yesterday I went out on my ususal 50 mile ride. About 10 miles from home I hear "crack". You guessed it, the post snapped. I had to ride the 10 miles home out of the saddle. For a spinner like me, 10 straight miles out of the saddle was a great workout. Needless to say, my LBS has ordered me a new seatpost.

Kevin ,sorry to hear about the seatpost. One of our club members has a custom ti mountain frame with no seatpost or seat. He rides several thousand miles a year including some centuries. Claims it helps him train for marathons. He rides or runs to work ever day. I have seen him ride in the ditch or shoulder more than once. It's a strange sight :D . Glad to hear your LBS is taking care of you. Take care Frank
