Selle Anatomica now has hardened chromoly rails available for those of you who are prone to bending our super long rails. Please order online if you need a NewFrame-Hardened Rails.
What can I do to make sure my chromoly rails don’t bend?
- It is always wise to lift your weight off the saddle when going over bumps.
- Do not use a setback seatpost with more than 20mm of setback
- Never set the saddle all the way back on the rails. Leave at least ¾ inch of rail in front of the seatpost clamp.
- Use a seatpost with a 1½ inch (38mm) or longer clamp on the rails. Small, individual attachment points at 1 inch (25mm) or less put too much pressure on our rails..
