Since May this year I have a Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 8 di2 (crystal white) and so far the bike has been perfect. Yesterday I went climbing with it for first time, and noticed the bike makes a cracking sound.
I think it’s the seatpost, since I don’t hear it when I am climbing out of the saddle, and I can lessen the sound of it when I sit a bit more forward on the saddle.
I have followed Canyon’s unboxing video for installing the seatpost (applied carbon paste and proper torque).
Do you guys have any idea what the cause is and how to fix it?

Take out the seat, put more carbon paste on seat post, re tighten and see if that helps.
Apply carbon paste on the seat post and tighten it.
Check the part number of the seat clamp. There is a round and an oval version. My Aeroad had the wrong one. So the sattle kept screeching and moving back and forth
Cause of bike creaks? Constant vibrations going through the bike, shit just gets loose over time. Unscrew, grease and put back together fixes the vast majority of creaking noises.
