G'day
I had a creak on the CRX 1 which I had put down to the KMC chain. Well with the arrival of the Surly LHT I moved the Brooks B17 over to it and blow me down the creak has gone with the saddle! Okay it is as tight as on the seat post. So any other ideas on the possible cause/solution?
Thanks
Andrew

Probably creaking where the rails attach to the shell. You may be able to drip a little oil into that joint and fix it. Make sure to use something that won't damage the material of the seat.

My fairly new B17 was creaking too. I traced it to the plate at the rear of the saddle, the leather is rubbing against the copper plate (I have the copper version).
I resolved it by oiling it, so the oil is between the metal and the leather.

G'day
Sorry for not updating this posting. I applied some Brooks Proofhide where the seat rubs against metal and that seems to have resolved the issue.
Thanks for the suggestions.
