Cracking saddle
So I need your help.
My saddle cracks a lot. I have a Trek Domane with standard seat post (steel clamp with carbon post) and a WTB rocket saddle with titanium rails.
You can reproduce the creaking by holding each edge of the saddle and torquing up and down...
The interesting thing is that the creak can increase or decrease depending on how tight the front and rear screws are set. The issue is that you need to adjust those screws in order to set the ideal saddle angle.
I went to my LBS and they said the creaking seems to be from where the rails is inserted in the saddle. They put some lubricant in the area but didn't helped a lot.
I tried to install another saddle (sella italia also with titanium rails) and something similar happens.
Thoughts?
Is this to be expected?
Is there something wrong with the clamp in the seat post?
Is this common in titanium rails?
The creaking drives me nuts when riding.
Any thoughts?
