    As title suggests, new road bike (ali frame) on turbo.
    At easy gears the seatpost is creaking in time with revolutions
    At harder gears it goes.

    Tried:
    Tightening seat post – same
    loosening seatpost – same
    tighten saddle bolts – same

    Just wondered what anybody’s thoughts were, or similar experiences?

    Grease the seatpost or copper paste / anti seize the bolts? Or maybe its because you haven’t got the flex of the tyre / wheel to absorb the energy going through the post and frame?

    Bit of grease should shut it up. New stuff seems to need bedding in sometimes.

    Sure its not creaking where the QR is clamped in? Does the seatpost creak when you’re out riding?

    Definitely grease the seatpost anyhow.

    thanks, will try more grease.
    No it doesnt seem to do it on the road, hence why I thought it may be clamp or some kind of tension related issue. Very odd.
