I've gone thru 2 beams now. Each lasted ~2yrs of light to moderate use, and I'm well within the 200lb weight limit. Whatever they did to bond the aluminum support to the carbon fiber, doesn't last. And since Softride is out of the bike business, getting another beam is problematic. So if you buy a Softride Rocket, either get an extra carbon fiber beam, or get the aluminum beam.
