Neither of my Charge Knifes are particularly old but second has started creaking, the first has been at it a while.

I like the shape but not the hideous noise, so looking for some recommendations on a replacement? If it makes any difference it’ll be going on a road bike.

I have one knife that creaks like a creaky thing, and the other is as good as gold.

Is there such a thing as a friday afternoon saddle?

Yeah, the Fly.
They're really good, like a minimalist Bel-Air.

SDG Falcon's good value too - very similar to a Spoon, but no stitching and more give (bigger cutaway in the base).

Aren't there many other saddles cast from the same mould? Madison Flux being one of them?

Maybe the new style spoon (does it have a different name, I can't remember?) might be better.

Alternatively, spray the creaky bits with either GT85 or superglue!

😆 engineering solution

Have you tried hitting it? And then hitting it harder?
