Did anybode found a solution against the creaking?
Reassenbled, greased etc several Times without real Changes..

Mine developed a horrific creak - turns out that one of the chainring bolts had snapped, think they are extremely soft.

Replace and retorque the bolt and see if that improves things?

Default for creaks is complete dissassembly and light touch of grease everywhere that parts meet, tends to be the cheapest and most successful outcome, even if it sometimes leaves me not knowing which bit was creaking!

I am looking for a seat radar mount. I know there are plenty of options but I cant find one that will be long enough extend past a saddle bag. Anyone found one that would be longer and maybe even have ability of angle adjust for the light?

I've been using this one:

It's snug, but my saddle bag is pretty small. I installed "upside down", but was able to tighten by slotting allen key into the saddle cutout.

Hello!
Are you still using this saddle? How would you describe the saddle padding? Is it soft or stiff, thick enough? I have a saddle with a 3D padding, not exactly the same, but also with a honeycomb structure, and it's too soft and thin, even in the sitbone area. I can easily push it to the base.

Still using, padding is firm - I can push to base with tip of finger, but if I use a wider area (e.g. whole of thumb) it doesn't really push down. Backside doesn't compress it to base - I use EI pads in shorts.

I like how I don't slide around on it also.

It's cheap, but you really get what you pay for:

Max 600W
+/- 5% accuracy
No Ant+

600W?! I get that most people don't push extreme watt, but 600W is a very low max!

That's the D100 - the D500 is 1500W +/- 1%

As far as I understand Magene actually manufactures the Decathlon ones.

Has anyone tried this Elita One SLR replica saddle? Does the 3D padding have differentiated densities or is it uniform across the entire saddle?

or the RT04 made by Ryet?

I've been riding on the RT04 for 6 months or so now - probably the best saddle I've ever had. Comfy, but don't slide around at all.
