Did you try some carbon paste?

How long has the saddle been in the bike?

Gelu is close to my house. They know really how to work with carbon.

I would call them.

I am on Guam and because of the time difference it would be hard to call. Yes I did put a liberal amount of carbon paste but it still creaks is this normal for a full carbon seat and seatpost? Thanks

Any experience with the K3 (the lightest one)?? Want to buy it, but im a bit afraid about the weight and the measures.
