Well I've seen someone kick his nice broken carbon seat post around in disgust in the mud...don't think a carbon rail would hold up much better. Just my 2 cents.

I'd probably say not a good idea. The forces that are put on a saddle in cross are much different than raod and mountain biking.

Especially when there are more economical options that will likely provide the same service.<br />
