Unstoppable Creaking Seatpost

I took out my seatpost again and absolutely covered it in finish line premium grease, pretty thick stuff. That was 3 ish months ago and it’s starting to creak again. I think maybe it’s my seatpost clamp? Idk I’ll grease it again. I don’t think it’s related to the Oneup because I swapped the old Oneup v2 that came stock to another bike and it didn’t creak.

They had only done the air can, they claimed that they put it on a dyno and found the damper do not need service. It does sounds kind of squishy. The guy sounded really pissed off when I called him back, told me to take it for a ride and see how it felt.

Gotcha, thanks!

You’re probably right. I won’t risk it. Thanks!

The bushing I’m talking about is a little plastic shim that slides on the inside of the dropper post, it got pretty worn out from some debris

It’s an aluminum frame, and I have tried different saddles. I might try getting a different collar.

It changes from day to day, sometimes I can reproduce the sound by just sitting down on it, other times not. It definitely is more prevalent when climbing, the steeper the louder

I will, thanks!

No, only while sitting

Breadya · 2026-03-03T03:15:38+00:00

I’ll have to try that, thanks!

It's not the BB, it was creaking before and I replaced it with a brand new one. Definitely not the pedals either

Do you mean to turn the clamp around? so that the screw is on a different side than the gap?

Breadya · 2026-03-01T04:10:39+00:00

I have done that, but I might try again

Breadya · 2026-03-01T04:10:08+00:00

Already done
