The saddle clamp/carriage bolts creak like crazy, and I'm going to lube up my second post today -- the one on my commuter. With aluminum tubes, the creaking reverberates and sounds like the bike is falling apart. I hesitate to say this, but on some non-moving metal to metal joints (not just bicycle parts) I've had success by scraping some paraffin wax onto the surfaces. It can last a long time. (Let the mockery begin!) I'm not anti-wax. That would work, but I'll use grease. I was thinking of using PTFEE plumbers paste or anti-seize. I looked at the Thompson site, and it said "Grease only bolt threads. Do not grease under bolt head or washer and do not use anti-seize." I wonder why no anti-seize. -- Jay Beattie. I never understood that warning/recommendation from Thomson. I have several Thomson posts and always greased every metal to metal contact despite it is a tedious and messy job with Thomson posts. Worst post to change a saddle. Lou |
