Aside from a way-ward senior pedestrian, the pace was solid and smooth going into Mount Doug. A newcomer ended up leading a b...

Bad Carbon Rails, BAD!
I found an all-carbon saddle on UsedVictoria - ~100 grams, carbon rails... What could go wrong, right? To their credit, the rails lasted roughly 9 months (including the entire Cross on the Rock beginner series ). And there were some crashes. Luckily things held till the ride ended - the rails died b...
