    But you are only a skinny thing, how are you breaking saddles off?

    I've been wondering the same thing and have come up with two theories:
    - The construction is worn and therefore wobbly unless the single bolt is tightened too well, which will cause it to snap at some point
    - Fat people have been secretly sitting on my bike

    For fear of breaching the 3 post on topic rule, is it the bolt that hold the seat post into the frame, or the saddle onto the seatpost?

    Ehm, there's two rods from the saddle being clamped between two metal holders that in turn are held with the single bolt to the saddle rod(?) extending from the frame. There's really just one bolt in the entire saddle construction.

    Hmm, i have never had that happen ever, but if the clamp is bent or fatigued you will never get a satisfactory hold and if the bolt used to replace it last time was poor quality then maybe the combination of issues caused it, you could probably replace the seat post cheaply, or even for free if you can find a bike that is being thrown out, though i think the diameter of the tube may vary, either way i would replace it as it could be quite unpleasant if it fails on you.
    In my experience if you find the right bike shop ie one that has quite an active repair shop or is run by an enthusiast they will often give you good advice on whether you need to replace the whole thing, and if you are really lucky they might have a secondhand one that you could get.

    Thanks Ed I just replaced the bolt and hope it will last until I got a job, which may be from September if I'm very lucky, and can afford a completely functional utterly new vastly reliable splendidly unused bike.

    My testies agree. I was lucky it broke off less than 500 metres from the university, and last time less than 500 from my house, it made for a short walk. The workshop at the university had a bolt and nut in the right size Last time, I got those from a bike shop, that's the one that failed this morning.

    You know that you cant always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes you just might find you get what you need.
    Right anyway 10pups, are you ever going to reveal what that razor holder was made of that you got with your d/e's from ebay?
