Selle Italia SL XC Flow Saddle

Purchased 1st of October, 2012 for a new build. Almost immediately after installation seat developed multiple creaks and other various noises from where the rails join the underside of the saddle. I removed and reinstalled several times to torque specified, even lubed the rails where they attached to the underside of seat......problem unsolved. Not long after that the adhesive used to affix the seating surface material also began to fail where it wraps around and under in to the center cutout. That being said I absolutely liked the ride. Nothing to get hung up on when hanging off the back, and good padding forward for seated climbs. Opted to return based on issues above for replacement, hoping its just a fluke.
