I really can’t believe how aggressively incorrect you guys are. It’s not the tool. Here is the exact same noise, well under torqued, totally different tool.
Not the tool guys. Here is the same sound, different tool.

Should there not be lube on all the mating surfaces?
yeah, just what I thought. Try putting some grease between the clamp and the frame and clean it thoroughly. Could be some dirt stuck in there or just paint under metal.
That’s clearly dry surfaces binding. Grease the bolt. Carbon paste for the mating surface where it presses on the seatpost.
You should tag all the “professional bike mechanics” that confidently told you that your torque wrench should make this noise 😂😂
I don’t understand what you are trying to do. That is to secure your seatpost. Put some grease or anti seize on the screw threads.. and smear carbon paste on your seat post. Slot in, to your desired height and torque to the stated Nm.
I think, you will need a new frame. 😂😂
Lmao. OP was actually right. In the other people’s defence though, it does sound the same as a torque wrench click. They’ll still downvote you anyway though.
Hope you figure it out and don’t give up on this sub 👍
Like I’ve written in the other topic – it’s the clamp.
Try taking apart, cleaning and greasing the wedge? By that I mean the two halves that slide on each other, still use carbon paste on the actual clamping surface
Try a torque wrench
Grease on the bolt, carbon paste on the clamp
I would approach Canyon on this, because I think this is clearly a manufacturing problem. If you have greased the bolt and have carbon paste on the other surfaces, then there’s not much you can or frankly should be expected to do.
Most likely the reason is the manufacturing tolerances being shit as usual. Maybe they could send you a new clamp and it would help. Hopefully the problem is not the frame.
I would clean and grease it everywhere where it contacts the frame and on the threads and put carbon paste where it touches the seatpost, or maybe without carbon paste to see if the creaking stopped
I’m lmao – the people in this sub are ravenous to tell people they are doing something wrong and offer no real help.
I have no idea what to suggest besides clean relube and apply carbon paste as someone else stated. Good luck!
I’m just happy I got to see both threads, learn better about torque wrenches, and see OP’s redemption.
Does the wedge for the seat post have teeth on it? This sounds like a ratchet more than tight dry materials. Kinda want to try mine, but at the same time my seat height is perfect lol
