My bike’s been squeaking and creaking like mad lately and it’s been hard to trace.
Stripped down the suspension block, checked BB, cranks and pedals, added oil into the tube holding the swing arm, and removed the seat post then cleaned inside the tube.
Finally, on Sunday I gave the nut holding the seat post clamp on and extra bit of tightening and Monday morning’s commute was blissfully quiet.
However. After folding down and then unfolding, the creak’s reappeared.
I think it’s because the lever has started to slip on the nut so it never gets really clamped in place.
Obviously, I could just buy another, but like most people, love the chance of an upgrade. So I wondered if anyone’s got any personal recommendations for a third-party clamp.
Thanks in advance.
