I have my seat creaking all the time and I can not tighten it any further as per manufacturer recommendations, any suggestions?

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.

I love the seat it creaks on some road imperfections

About a year and it was so annoying that I tightened the carbon seat post and cracked the clamp. I like the saddle it is comfortable for me
