Clicking in my KH seat assembly

If your problem were a clamp, you'd more likely hear some squeaking.
Tightening or lubing the clamps would make the squeak go away. You
could lube any metal / metal interface to troubleshoot your problem.

If you have an older KH/Onza hub you may be experiencing some keyway
slop... this has lead to clicking in the past (search the fora for
"hub" and "clicking"😉 Are you sure it's coming from your seat?

A common affliction amongst KH seats is a broken stiffener plate. Your
plate is most likely broken at the seatpost / seatbase interface. If
your seat feels "flexible" when you push down or pull up on the handle,
you should disassemble the seat and check out the plate.

Seat clicking comes about when the broken sections of the plate move
against each other... it would click in sync with your pedaling if you
"bounce" on your seat (even slightly) whilst pedaling. Try some SIF
riding and if the sound goes away, the plate should be suspect.
