- To be fair, some people have reported that it breaks; on the other hand
- some other people, including me, have reported that it lasts for at least
- thousands of miles. I also find it the most comfortable saddle I've tried,
- and I do lots of 50-100 mile rides and weigh between 180 and 190.

- Mine squeaked a lot when it was new. I applied Armor-All generously to the
- points where the rails join the plastic, and after about the third time I
- did this it quit squeaking.
