ALLMTB Posted March 18, 2018 Share Since you've checked almost everything else, the creaking might come from the contact points between the rails and the base of the saddle. I have that issue with a Fabric saddle, spraying some Teflon spray on the contact points solves the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted March 18, 2018 Share I have a Gobi and sometimes the creak is from where the rails enter the plastic end bits. I just dribble a drop of oil on the rails and let it flow into the plastic bit. Not sure how your saddle looks underneath but if its similar try it...

Grease_Monkey Posted March 18, 2018 Share My Spez Henge also makes alot if noise (I know it's the saddle because it makes the same noise on different bikes and seatposts). Anyway, take Mojoman's advice - did the same and it worked for me. If it is the seatpost, then try copper paste, not carbon paste - works a treat. And don't add grease, it does the opposite to carbon and copper paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted March 18, 2018 Share Agree with G_M. Copper slip on all the contact points was the only way to keep my Race Face Next SL post and Fabric Scoop combo quiet. Eventually found that the biggest point for noise came from the contact between the rails and the post rail clamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttocs Posted March 19, 2018 Share Check your saddle is not cracked Like he said, I had the same problem with my Sworks saddle, took a couple months before I found the problem and drove me mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted March 19, 2018 Share My Selle Max is constantly creaking where the rails go in the base. It started 10 day after I got it... I was unamused as It was the reason I took off a previous saddle which was comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongooser Posted March 19, 2018 Share Thanks okes seems abit of chain lube on contact points and it stopped it being as loud. Put silicone spray on the rails where seatpost connects and it stopped creaking instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
