I would add that if the creak stops after you tighten the peddles, you
should take them off and relubricate them with a heavy grease.

I have a newish standard B-17 that creaks...guess I will have to live with
it..using same 27.0 mm Campy record setapost on my X0-1.If such a thing as
a 27.0mm Nitto S-83 was available I'd be all over it...literally and

Regarding the bottom bracket creak that drives you nuts...I u
I just had that problem. I tightened the BB and cranks = gone.

I was really hoping to learn about resolution of the 1xCrank-R creek. I
guess we have a sit bone priority.

I have to say again that I ride in NYC so its only on rides around 1am
(when its actually pleasant to ride here) that I hear it. The rest of the
time its pretty much drowned out by NYC noise. I would consider a wider
plastic saddle for my grocery getter.

You can actually get quality and comfort outside of leather. Really! I like
the comfort and looks of leather saddles but I just got tired of
the freakin' squeaking. Over the course of several years, I switched out
two Brookses (?) and a Selle Anatomica with three WTB Pure V's and I'm very
happy wit
My regular ol' B17 creaks at the nose bolt, took a while to diagnose it,
now that I know what it is, and that it isn't a safety item, I don't even
hear it any more. May still shoot some penetrating oil of some flavor in
there.

I could just replace my bike with a couch and not have any bike related
issues. Nah, I will go for quality and comfort over perceived ease of use.

I would like to once again offer up my sure-fire solution to simultaneously
fix all creaking in a Brooks (or any leather) saddle once and for all AND
permanently and completely eliminate all saddle maintenance. Simply remove
the Brooks saddle and replace it with a high-quality plastic and vinyl one
I just pretend, with the Brooks creak, that I'm an old cowhand from the Rio
Grande

On our Brooks Flyer saddles (mine and hers) I spray a little Boeshield at
the top and bottom of the spring where it is bolted to the rails, and a
little bit on the nose bolt.
I also apply a thin layer of grease to the rails before tighting down the
seat post clamp. Pretty much everywhere metal

Anybody have any recommendations on dealing with the creak in the sprung

I have tried WD 40, Beesewax, it all works for about 10 miles than its

I can deal with, its the unknown that bother me.

don't forget pedals - my buddy stopped in a ride 3 times because his
bottom-dead-center creek was getting worse - the week before he borrowed my
torque wrench to tighten it. He was ready to turn around, but we found
grease exuding from one of his pedals - the pedal bearing was dry.

Get a sprung brooks saddle, it creaks all the time and covers up any other
creaks you might be hearing. Problem solved. :)

What you think are BB creaks are many times seat post creaks. If it is from
the BB teflon tape may cure it.
