This review is from: Schwinn Cruzair Seat (Toy)

I purchased this seat from Amazon and as usual, fulfillment was great! Then, I installed the seat and began riding. I do about 8 miles per day on flat to gentle hill bike trails for exercise. The seat was pretty comfortable UNTIL, I hit a SMALL bump in the trail on my suspension MTB last week and the seat up. I came down with full weiforce onto the top tuibe of the bike and and crashed. When I say blew up, I mean there were seat parts all over the place.

What appeared to happen during the catastrophic failure of this poorly and inadequately designed product was the attachment rails that fit into the seat post clamp bent down in front of the clamp when my weight came down on it going over the small bump (less than 2 inches). This bending, in turn, put undue pressure on two plastic attachment posts at the saeat's rear breaking them at the ends of the attaching screw. This detached the poly foam seat itself from it's metal attaching rails. The two posts connecting the rails to the seat are held by VERY SHORT screws going into the posts less than 1/2 of their length. The sheer point was a full inch below the bottom of the poly seat moulding.

Theese 2 posts appear to be molded directly into the seat and are only about a half inch diameter each and are hidden from view. They are essentially plastic cylinders 1 1/2" - 2" long that capture the screw with a wall thickness of only an eight to a quarter inch at most. CLEARLY NOT ENOUGH STRUCTURAL STRENGTH to maintain structural integrity when stressed. As I mentioned, the undersized posts are NOT VISIBLE because they are surrounded by two rubber bumpers presumably designed to absorb shock (clearly not functional). The rails also are not made of material strong enough to function as designed as they bent down so easily at the front. They appear to be cold steel rather than tougher stainless or magnesium allow that would resist bending.

The injury I sustained to my perineum and spine has not yet resolved and I am considering legal remedies for all the discomfort, pain and distress caused by this faulty product. This seat's inadequate design is NOT SAFE and certainly NOT DURABLE. IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH, DO NOT BUY THIS SEAT.
