I bought a second hand Fizik Arione saddle in 2014 to replace my stock one on my Giant Defy and felt it was quite comfortable.A year later i sold my bike and bought another Defy but carbon.
Before i sold the bike i took off the Fizik saddle and put the Giant saddle back on.The plan was to put the Fizik back on the new bike but i never got around to it.
When i eventually got round to putting it on i found i had two problems.One: even though i have tightened it upas possible and greased all the rails ii's making a horrible creaking sound.Two:The saddle now feels very uncomfortable and after about twenty miles i need to stand up as it's giving me a pain in the backside literally!
i'm wondering if all that time(six years) it was kept in a drawer has made the material harden up?
