Recently fitted a new saddle, and to be honest it's doing my nut in! Makes a really audible creaking noise when sat in it, any ideas to cure? Have checked the bolts andnhavent overtightened as I thought I may have.

Saddle is and Sdg Aliso with ti rails mounted on a reverb

Silcone spray should do it, WD is a bad idea on rubber and plastics.

Reverb bolts tight, should be 10nm?

I recently had similar on my road bike. I fixed it by greasing the seat post clamp and the saddle rails.

Its invariably the rails in the mounts. Grease or glue. In the end i sorted mine by buying a new one. Send it back.

Ear plugs.

One of my saddles now rattles on its rails. Fine whilst seated or on a smooth road, very annoying on descents.
