It's official then...

The Giant SCR frame is the squeakiest frame. I have swapped every OE item off my 2008 model, and still it squeaks!

Maybe it's trying to tell you something?

 

[Mortiroloboy]

I don't speak squeak! I think it eminates from the seat tube, I haven't replaced the seat tube clamp, but every thing else hase been swapped, no obvious reason, there may just be a minute amount of play where the pin goes into the frame, it's as tight as it can be, like wise the saddle clamp. I think it's just an annoying aspect of the frame, it doesn't do it all the time, not at all when out of the saddle, and only occasionally when in the saddle, just enough to be an irritant.

Maybe there is a slight movement between the seatpost and the seattube? Have you taken the seatpost out and put a thin film of grease on to it. This sometimes stops squeaking. I'm sure someone will have other ideas.

 

[Mortiroloboy]

That was my plan for this morning, a large dollop of anti seize grease to act as a 'cushion' the pin is 27.02 the inner diameter of the tube 31.0.

So there is always going to be room for the pin to move, the OE pin was the same diameter, I couldn't find a pin that was a closer to the internal measurment, not sure there is one, unless anyone knows better?

My GF has an SCR - I really don't get the weird seatpost shim arrangement.

Wiggle do a range of seatposts and sizes. You LBS may well do as well.

i had a saddle that squeaks, it was a cheap aldi one, which i just replaced with another one which doesn't (yet).

Is it the actual seat clamp? I sometimes have that creak on my tourer (old ringle seatpost) and I have to tighten it up to make sure it goes away.

I know it certainly is, er, unusual.

Possibly, there is a slightly odd clamp shim arrangement.
