Right guys I was going to post this in a new post but I've allways had usefull info from this page . Sorry not NP related but kinda is as I ride the TR . so I'm running tubeless just what is it that courses the rear tire to BERP ? Is it crap sidewalls/weak sidewalls ? I get it really bad on the rear . Cheers lads

What rims and tyres? It can be any number of things from rad cornering to bad tyre to bad rim to just plain bad luck.
NOBBY NIC on mavic ENDURO yellow tubeless ust rims . The tire is tubeless ust aswell . I had the mavic SX last year with NOBBY NICS no burping they was bang on . A little confused why on pretty much the same rim I get burping . I landed a little sideways rear end as I tend to whip table when I hope jump stuff

Those rims are only 19mm in width aren't they? That could be your issue and if you weren't having issues with the same tyres but different rims then that would suggest the problem is with the rim assuming everything else is the same.

Anyone had any issues with a Nukeproof Saddle?

Mines been fine for a few years now. What issues are you having?

As with any saddle not everyone finds them comfortable but I quite like it, it's a good compromise of weight, comfort, price and strength for me.

I like mine, no issues comfort, or noise wise, problem is the rails collapsed on me! First time I have ever had a seat do this in all my years of riding, never even had an issue racing DH back in the 90's like this!

Collapsed seat rails.

Might just be bad luck, things break sometimes. Couldn't hurt to try for warranty though. If you're polite you're more likely to get somewhere and they might even offer you a discount on a new one if they won't replace it and you're lucky.

Yeah have already spoken with the guys about Warranty, no joy though, have offered a half price replacement though.

Thanks for all the feedback, only asking as if it seemed to be a common thing I was thinking of changing brands.
