Re: [RBW] Re: Selle Anatomica carbon rails with Nitto S65 seatpost?

[jeff dobie]

I have an S65 and have used it on two different Brooks saddles and when 
cranked down so the saddles don't slip there are indentations in the clamp 
areas on the seat rails. I would think with a carbon fiber rail this would 
not be a good thing.  this was typed on 012123 but I am not accepted to the 
group so it will probably be a month before this post shows.

Re: [RBW] Re: Selle Anatomica carbon rails with Nitto S65 seatpost?

[Peter Adler]

On the one hand, I don't see any reason to believe that Nitto's saddle 
clamps clamp any tighter than anyone else's. I suspect the clamping 
strength is limited by the materials; Nitto's using aluminum and steel 
alloys similar to those other manufacturers use.

On the other hand, I still have to call Selle An-Atomica and yell at them 
about the *steel* rails in my H2 (tubes, not rods as I discovered), which 
snapped through about 1" in front of the two-bolt Campy seatpost after 
barely one year's riding.

So, your mileage may vary, as a regular correspondent might say.

On Nitto's site, they didn't condone carbon rails on any of their
posts...but I mean, other aluminum posts can be used with carbon rails so
who knows.

[RBW] Re: Selle Anatomica carbon rails with Nitto S65 seatpost?

[JohnS]

That's interesting. I wonder what they think of the  Selle Anatomica carbon 
rails being used with an S83? I have that set up on my Crust Lightning 
Bold/canti for well over a year and seems to be fine to me. Then again the 
S83 has two bolts to clamp the rails, maybe that's the difference.

The silence from the group and Nitto's web page has given me my answer. 
If you gotta ask, don't do it!
