Ceaky Specral On saddle driving me nuts ?

[Wayne Barker]

I've removed and cleaned the saddle clamp and the dropper post and it still creaks when I peddle. Tried grip compound grease. Still creaks. Tried normally grease. Still creaks. Anyone else had or got over this problem. Ive put one on from my other bike now and it's fine. Could it be a replacement required. Only had it since January.

Try spraying something like WD40 or even some lube into the three points where the seat rails connect to the saddle shell

Thanks. I'll try that ?

you absolutely sure it's the saddle?
and not the dropper. or the seattube/seatpost/seatclamp?

removing the seatpost cleaning the seat tube, seat clamp and post and greasing before reassembling.
Or if it's the dropper a mini service (remove seal head, clean and regrease)
might be enough

On two different bikes with two different seats creaking was caused by over tightened bolts to the seat rails.

I have removed the OEM saddle for change by ERGON for ebike (similar)and the two have the same noise after 15mn riding. Come from the rails inserts under the saddle. I have installed an hold basic CUBE saddle, no problems. OEM saddle is beautiful, confortable but do not support heavy rider (96kg for me)

I'm sure it's the saddle as my other one is fine

It said 8-10 nm on the seat clamp but that made no difference.?

Warranty it
but ask for a different saddle as replacement.
