What is up with set post collars this year? My Specialized had a click in the seat post and it was because the POS seat post collar was cracking. That's right cracking right out of the box. I hate when bike companies are so weight consciencous that they put crap on the bike so they can advertise lighness just to have it break and make you replace it with a heavier but stronger piece. This was the same for my Bianchi Titanium. My 2001 frame was creaking / clicking and broke at the down tube. My replacement frame was clicking at the seat post. I must have disassembled and reassembled the bike 3 times without fixing the problem. Well, the seat post collar broke. Arrrrrrrrrggggggggggg......... You may say I overtightened it but the stupid carbon seat post kept on sliding down. I just cannot win.

My point? If something is clicking / creaking and you cannot fix it then something is going to break.
