Anybody had carbon seat rails crush?
I'm thinking of buying the top of the range specialized toupe as my existing romin is getting creaky and I fancy the flatter profile of the toupe.
It comes with carbon rails, and my seat is fairly far forward on the rails which I'd imagine increases stress on them.
So, has anybody ever had carbon rails crush on them?
Seat clamps always seem to need a good tightening I've found and carbon seems a dodgy material for this. I've got carbon bars, stem, wheels, the lot, but never had carbon rails on the seat. They are so small in diameter I just feel they would get destroyed by stresses placed upon them.
Would appreciate any opinions from people using seats with carbon rails.

Been using a Spec. Romin with CF rails for quite a while now. Never had a problem with it. Just make sure your seatpost clamp is compatible. Not all of them are. CF rails are a slightly different shape and size.
