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 [url] http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?PartnerID=79&ModelID=25477 [/url] - damn expensive too, I definately am not keen to ditch it for something else.

Any ideas?

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

You know who you are !
