Met Allan A going up to Antenna however my seat broke and had to abor the climb and repair the saddle attachment

Wheels of Happiness

I decided to bring my mtb and do an antenna ride.  On the way I met Allan (saw his post earlier) and he said he did 3x going up antenna was outstanding.  However on the first climb, I heard a crack and my saddle got loose and the whole seat post assembly disintegrated.  I removed the parts that may fall:   the nuts and bolts, the saddle and the other parts of the seat post assembly.

I tried to reattach the saddle whom I guessed had tools.  He had but unfortunately after we thought the problem was fixed, as soon as I got on the bike the assembly collapsed again.   So I followed his advice get a nut to bypass the defect:  loose thread .   It took me 30 minutes to get my part at Corderos bolt.  It cost me P3.00 for the nut (but at least, I do not have to get a new seat post assembly or go to a machine shop)

At home it took me a while to seat the new extra nut at the seat post assembly.  Now it looks fine.  And I hope it wont bother me again.
