Broken part :( help
This part that secures the seat tube in the frame snapped today after being cracked for a while. I was a dumb **** and tightened it too far and make it crack in the first place. Does this mean I'm going to replace the frame or can I just have this part replaced? I apologize for the huge pic but tiny pic is sucking and wont let me re upload it to msg board size..

From what it looks like you can just buy a new seatpost clamp and be done with it. Just pull it off the seat tube and take it to your LBS and get a new one.

Thanks!

Don't be too hard on yourself. I wish BD would spend $1 more on their seatpost clamps. They're some heavy soft metal.

Time to utilize the spare parts bucket in the back of your shop closet.

Luckily, you broke the cheapest part on the bike.

True, problem solved got it measured with a caliper they had to special order the size. Arg I'm itching to ride though!
