It would if I didn’t have another friend tell me post-race that he snapped rails on two separate occasions on an SHC170… I’ve already pinged John about this. Seems he needs to have a sit-down with QC with whomever is making his saddles.
That said, I’ve ridden a HC or SHC 170 for six years and this is the first time I’ve ever had an issue in tens of thousands of miles.
How old is the saddle?
