I have an S65 and have used it on two different Brooks saddles and when cranked down so the saddles don't slip there are indentations in the clamp areas on the seat rails. I would think with a carbon fiber rail this would not be a good thing. this was typed on 012123 but I am not accepted to th

On the one hand, I don't see any reason to believe that Nitto's saddle clamps clamp any tighter than anyone else's. I suspect the clamping strength is limited by the materials; Nitto's using aluminum and steel alloys similar to those other manufacturers use. On the other hand, I still have to c

That's interesting. I wonder what they think of the Selle Anatomica carbon rails being used with an S83? I have that set up on my Crust Lightning Bold/canti for well over a year and seems to be fine to me. Then again the S83 has two bolts to clamp the rails, maybe that's the difference. JohnS
