Atlas looks smoother so less restrictive when you're slamming into trees.... |

You cant beat a good creak, |I spend hours trying to track down an annoying one last weekend, turned out it was the offset bushing I installed on shock, just needed a bit of grease  , back to silence again now ...Andy |

Hmm that's intersting, I've got a Bel Air and recently discovered it was the source of some creaking ... is it a common thing with SDG saddles? ... or specific to the Bel Air ?? Apart from replacing it ... how do I stop the creaking?? |

^^ undo and redo the rail bolts especially after a knock or just after plenty of saddle time, back them both off clean them then tighten |

Thanks , I'll check that out this weekend. Been looking on-line and a lot of people rate the Bel Air, but a hell of a lot also moan about creaking! - seems to be a known issue. Apologies for taking the post off-track. It it were my choice, I'd go for the SDG. |

Alternatively the same saddle from superstar in the Ti flavour is the same as the bel air but a hell of a lit cheaper and lighter |
