Seatposts

I'm looking for a new seatpost as my current one is creaking by the saddle so was wanting one that is more secure in that area. I was looking at the Truativ range as they are dual bolted but was wondering if there is anything similar from other brands.

Quite a few.
I have always had an Easton dual-bolt on my bikes.
(and they are on sale at Wiggle at the moment)

Yes, plenty.

I really like the Raceface ranges as the mounting system is easy to use and adjust whilst very secure - I believe other manufacturers use a similar system - also you could check out the I-beam systems from SDG (and others produce it under licence).

I used this before I got my dropper : http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/raceface-evolve-seatpost/rp-prod106653

Helpful as ever.

Have you checked that it is not the saddle creaking? I've had several that creak where the rails join the saddle's 'hull' - squirting some lubricant around can help.... Also it's not uncommon for the rails (especially titanium ones) to creak against the clamps - dismantling, cleaning, and greasing can often sort it.

poah

recently went for the ibeam system. easy to fit and set up plus the bell air saddle is super comfy

passout

RF is my choice too - I'd go for a Deus.

Good advice here. I've had a few creaky moments but this sort of maintenance can often cure them. I have an On-one cheap 'n' cheerful post, by the way.

I got a Truativ Stylo seatpost from Wiggle a few weeks ago, it is great and holds my saddle where I want it and seems less creaky than the Exotic one it replaces, but at more than £55 I wouldn't have spent that much on a seatpost other than the fact I'd been given vouchers.
