Hi all, as it sys really. both mine and a mates do it. with Bel Air and Fizik Gobi saddles. Anybody else have this? i could crank it up tighter but it feels pretty tight already. and they were clean when fitted. the movement at the clamp is visible when the saddle is rocked back and forth - its not in the post itself - well, not all of it! cheers

Mine does this too, with a Bel air. Need to take the saddle off and give the rails and the saddle clamp a clean now and again. job done.

I find removing the saddle and cleaning the clamp out and re greasing it sorts mine, have to do it every 6 months or it starts creaking again

does your clamp appear to have some flex in it when you rock the saddle back and forth too? as if one bolt at least has a short spring washer under it?
