The annoying squeek coming from my saddle is too annoying now I am considering ditching the saddle, which I am not keen to do as it was a gift. Before I do, what have I missed to try to get rid of the damn squeek?

Conditioned the saddle with leather conditioner
Removed saddle, cleaned it, cleaned the rails.
Changed seatpost – It was on a Race Face seatpost, is now on a Hope Eternity seatpost so its clamped in a different place.

Just googled to explain that it is a Selle Italia Diva http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?PartnerID=79&ModelID=25477 – damn expensive too, I definately am not keen to ditch it for something else.

Any ideas?

see where the rails enter the saddle body ?

fill that with silicone sealant …

But if you fix your squeak, I'll have to fix my tick!

We do indeed make for a tuneful ride – click, squeek, click squeek. The squeek is sooo annoying though.

Will try silicone sealant, thanks trail_rat.

I have a mate and a regular STW forum contributor, with a SI Flite, which has creaked so loudly with every pedal stroke that it sounds like an old rocking chair ! He has ridden it this way every ride for over a year. It used to be annoying now its just soothing 😉

You know who you are !
