Creak when sitting and wriggling and pedaling

[laneylovesbeer]

So I’ve got an annoying creak. This happens mainly when sitting and pedalling but also can be made to happen when wriggling on the saddle. I’ve bought a new saddle, seat post, bottom bracket, seat post clamp and wheels but kept the skewers as they are anti theft. It’s still happening so I guess it’s the skewers or frame. The bike is a 7 year old giant escape 0. I’ve inspected the frame and can’t see any damage but it’s really weird that it only happens when seated. I can power uphills off the saddle and no noise.

Grease the clamp between the seat post and the saddle ?

Check shoe cleats as well

Had an annoying creaking sound and it turned out to be two things related to the saddle: the clamp that holds the saddle rails and the seat post within the seat tube. The first required some grease and the second needed Fiber Grip since frame and seat post are carbon. For metal frame and post, grease should do the trick.
