mtbrider Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Hi Hubbers. I am wondering if I am the only one with this problem or are there others out there. My seatpost will not stop creaking. Never ever!! I have changed the clamp, the post, the seat. I had a small amount of grease on and I have had a lot of grease on it. I have tried everything. After the 5th ride it starts clicking again. It is a loud clicking noise and this has bugged me for close to a year now. It is a 2015 model Anthem X. Please give me advise or just spare a thought for me and the people I cycle with. Regards Stephan
dirtypot Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Try some grease on the rear dropouts. It's not always the seat/seatpost as it may sound like.
mtbrider Posted August 30, 2016 Author Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks, done that. I know it is the seatpost because when i take it out and grease it a bit its quite for 5 rides again. Its like resetting to factory settings.
s14phoenix Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Have you considered that it could be the saddle or saddle rails? where they go into the saddle. Mine creaks and cracks lika mofo and I have greased and lubed and etc and it keeps doing it or coming back. If it is the seatpost it could be a bit of grit down the seat tube itself - have had that before too... you may need to clean out the seat tube down past where your seatpost goes into. then use a sticky grease that's waterproof - it wont wash out with washing. also make sure no water can get into the clamp area by applying enough grease to form a water and dust seal.
RyanAW Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I also had a creak in my anthem seatpost (or so I thought). Sorted out by having a suspension pivot service
Meezo Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Buy a Scott... they don't ever creak kakkest best advice ever
s14phoenix Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Buy a Scott... they don't ever creak classic... cracking me up... But could be a suspension pivot... take out the seat post and seat clamp and try it for 50km if it still creaks (and you make it back) its a pivot... Seriously though - if you tried another seatpost it could be...
