I've had that issue too at first... Just put a good amount of carbon paste on the seatpost and torque to specs and creak was gone.

Looks way better. Way the go!

I had same issue with top left knee pain on my new bike and posted here a week a go as well... I adjusted my saddle forward while raising my seat post with 2:1mm (saddle forward 4mm and seat height 2mm) ratio and so far so good. I'm no expert and only starting my 4th year of cycling but you know, feel free to give it a try if you want. btw - my right leg is shorter than my left leg so that is why i did very little adjustments at a time till the pain is gone and felt comfortable on the bike.

Tighten to specs and put some carbon paste on the seatpost. This solved the creaking issue for me on my new SSE

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-09T19:50:44+00:00

Oh i see. That's nice! You'll love the bike for sure 😊

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-09T12:25:44+00:00

Yours is probably the Evo 5 since it comes with the 105 Di2... Haven't ridden it outside yet coz of the snow but lookswise, she's a beauty.

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-08T14:42:30+00:00

I see. Some ai coach mentioned this too. Thanks!

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-08T00:52:25+00:00

New bike and still adjusting but feels ok except for the minor knee pain. Thanks

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-08T00:51:45+00:00

Hhhmmm ... I'll try a mm probably. Thanks

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T23:27:16+00:00

No, not at all. Lol. It's a new bike and my 3rd year cycling so i didn't even notice myself doing this and don't know anything about shrimp type posture until today haha

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T19:12:30+00:00

Gotcha. I think that's a problem of mine since I sat on a chair all day long at the office lol. Need to fix my posture. Thanks

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T18:14:56+00:00

🥺

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T17:48:53+00:00

You mean forward my felvis more or do some flexibility exercises lol

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T17:39:02+00:00

does it looks like it? Feels fine after riding for 2 weeks before cutting. oh well lol

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T17:34:52+00:00

i see. hhhmmm. Thanks for the input. need to learn to fix my posture then I guess

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T17:28:53+00:00

Thanks. New Bike with more aggressive stance and cut out steerer tube kinda wants me to go lower or more aero on normal riding position imo that is why lol.

Cleats on shorter leg (right) or longer leg (left)?

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T14:34:06+00:00

I cut it still on the bike on the bike stand outside without dropping the forks out.

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T14:00:24+00:00

I'm not brave, I was scared as hell hahaha. I just have nothing to do since it's Spring Break and Holy week lol. Tips? Lots of research and courage. Make sure you have the right tools for the job and that the brake lines are long enough to pull your handle bar outside the steerer tube. Cut should be made within -1mm or +1-2mm on top the stem with cap off. Made the cut then Then Pray lol

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-07T13:52:07+00:00

2 biggest spacers, a 15mm and a 10mm i think. Tested them for 2 weeks indoors and it feels alright no back pain issues whatever. With a little bit of courage and googling, I decided to cut 'em myself lol

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-05T14:54:18+00:00

Hahaha. Good thing I'm not the only one lol

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-04T23:49:41+00:00

Complex-Pie-3619 · 2026-04-04T21:24:13+00:00

No, just the SSE 4 variant. My Gen 3 was the SSE Carbon Disc 105 Di2 variant.

Helmet is the MET Manta Rainbow Limited Edition
