Creaky Saddle Help

[thereiner]

Anybody have any suggestions for correcting a creaky saddle. I have a new Selle Italia Flite Gel which is really comfortable. I ride with the seat a little further back than neutral. It creaks and squeaks under pedal load constantly. Is there a good fix or do I need a new saddle or Seatpost?

Am wondering if it is worth getting a setback seatpost so the saddle is centered on the rails?

any thoughts?

Take it of the post clean everything well. Apply a thin layer of grease to rails and bolt tighten and wipe away any grease left. Worked for me.
