That scares the crap out of me. I ran a CF seatpost on my cross country bike for a bit, but I ended up ditching it after I became too afraid of something like this.

What all happened? Did you hit something? Something hit you? just "randomly" fail?

prolly tightened it too much, and caused some small stress fractures. these prolly ended up getting bigger over time. I just installed a carbon seat post, and heard a tiny crack after tightening it. havent rode the bike yet but im not in my seat much.

That happened to a guy in an alleycat last year. He was angry. Not sure what he ended up doing.

This is really funny ^^

No, it didn't happen to me. Someone over in the cross forums on the other board. Cross interest is really growing in some parts of the country where races are available. Northern Illinois/Wisco and other midwest especially. Whatever, right. They're alleycats on mud and some maniacs do them fixed.

You get a lot of newbie experiences stories that are horrifying/interesting on the boards. I'm sure our tender, pitboss, has some stories.
