Hi,

I've had this saddle for a few years now and it has gradually go more creaky. It started when I hit a bump while seated and I heard a cracking sound and has slowly got worse since. It's not bad and I can't see any obvious cracks but wondered if there is anywhere that can check and/or repair it if needed. Any ideas???

TIA

    I had a saddle that did that. Solved by pouring a little dry lube into the slots underneath the saddle where the rails sit and leaving it upside down overnight

    hey Bondurant, thanks for that - my fav type of 'fix' - cheap and easy :D Will give it a try.
