Saber 06 seatpost clamp comming loose Can't Post
I owe a Saber since last october and since the begginning I've been hearing some creaking. I checked everything and just today while on the trainer I realized that the creaking came from the Seat Post Clamp wich came loose from the frame. If you pull the seat post up you cans see the clamp rise from the frame 1-2mm.

Does anybody else had this kind of problem?

Since it looks like it is glued I am thinking if is this something that I can fix myself (living in Brazil makes a huge Pain sending it to warranty).

Thanks,

Luis

Did you ever get a fix for this? I have the same issue with my '06 Saber. I sent an email to litespeed, but dont expect an answer until after the holiday weekend. Has anyone else had this issue or heard of it. The collar that secures the aero seat post has just a little of play in it, but causes alot of creaking. Thanks.

Litespeed told me to glue it with a 2 part bond. It is fine now but I am not riding it anymore.

Best of luck

I had the same problem and greased it well and tightened the clamping bolts a lot. Fixed the creaking but the downside was I tightened the head off one of the capscrews. Went with nickel plated steel capscrews and bought a spare collar just in case. What is "2 part bond"? The two tube epoxy you mix up?

Where did you buy a spare collar?
