taito Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I have a Sella IT saddle on my Mounty but is getting noisy.After a inspection I can see that there is wear between the bars and the plastic mounting holes in the back. Can move the complete seat top piece a little forward and back,,,,,so what's the chances of it failing altogether.its basically where the bars enter the plastic front and back!????
porqui Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Should not fail - just frustrating mine makes a noise while pedalling.
V12man Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Silicone spray in the joint will quiet it for a while - but has to be repeated regularly
GreatGusto Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Try graphite dry lube in there instead of silicone. It doesn't dry out in dusty conditions.
Butterbean Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I've never tried, so don't flame me, but why not stuff some epoxy at the loose ends and it should give you some relief?
porqui Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 The epoxy won't hold because of the continuous movement/flexing.
Skylark Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Maybe some super glue will help, its nice and thin and can run right into the joint and fill up any spaces that is allowing the movement, just try clean out the silicone as best as possible with some thinners before applying.
