seen rails break there more than a few times. material weakness at the worst spot. not likely to happen often.

Having broken 4 Specialized Romins myself I wasn't shocked to see this thread, but snapping the rail in half... that is wild stuff.

Did you slam your butt down or hit a really ridiculous pothole?

If you bought it new from a Specialized dealer take it back and I bet they will replace it under warranty.

I too have broken a few saddle rails and my local dealer was more than willing to replace under warranty.

I went to the carbon rails and have not broken a rail since!!
