It didn't break for me and I've ridden it on a gravel bike for over 300 miles of moderate singletrack and dirt roads. Spend more money if you want to impress your friends. In that case, you'll need to shell out at least $50 for a stunningly colored seatpost clamp that matches your bottom bracket bearings. If that's the case, you'll also need to get socks that match the…
