Hi,
I have a problem in that in the last 18 months the bolt holding on my seat has broken 3 times. I've bought new ones from various places but it seems that I must be either doing something wrong when fitting it or when riding because the bolts have sheared in what seems like the same place every time.
The bike is a dawes mountain bike and you can see a sheared bolt here(thats a pic of the last time it broke, it happened again yesterday)

And the sort of seat mounting I have here

So does anyone have a suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks.
