Prologo saddle

Anyone have issues with your Prologo scratch saddle creaking and cracking when you ride over rough ground, have checked it nothing broken or loose.

    Caused by the front of the rails rubbing against the saddle fittings. Remove the front mount (2.5mm allen key) and apply some silicon grease

    I’ve had two Prologo Kappa Space saddles replaced due to cracking and creaking like mad within 12 months of use. No amount of grease, silicone spray or magic fixed them. Binned then and got a cheap Selle Italia job. Shame as I loved the saddles.


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    Remove the front plastic mount (requires 2.5mm allen key) and apply silicon grease to rails and inner plastic
