Clean the seatpost with something like Simple Green or soap and water, and then lube it lightly with vaseline or bike grease before replacing it and tightening it up.

Also the adjuster bolt for the saddle tilt should be tight. Wiggle the saddle in several directions to see if it creaks after all is tight… If you still have the noise, then it ,ay be somewhere else possibly the handlebars or pedals, or rear shock mounting area to frame, etc… good luck stan Hi I’d like to get your opinion on saddle leveling relating to suspension forks (mountain bikes).
