The tensioning bolt just seared off. I have about 5000 miles on the saddle and never touched the bolt. I called Wallingford and they are going to ship me another bolt for $11+ shipping. If this happened with a Terry or Specialized, they would be sending me a new saddle. I asked Bill from Wallingford if this happens a lot and he said a few times a year. That's just his shop, I wonder how many more.
I know a lot of people tour on these saddles, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to carry an extra bolt or a Terry saddle
