Annoying sound :(
Moderator: robbosmans
Starting from the end : I exclude EVERY other sound. And still have "clicking" coming from seat tube area.
to avoid misunderstanding : it's NOT coming from BB ( out of saddle is silence ), it's not saddle ( switched 3 ) not saddle clamp ( lubricated ) not seatpost clamp ( changed 3 ) . Left seatpost. To be more precise its length : thing is 400mm long, 260mm seats in seat tube.
Cutting seatpost voids warranty, so I have to be quiet sure before shortening the thing( proprietary ) ...
But , IS IT POSSIBLE AT ALL that "to long" seatpost is "clicking" , or rather knocking inside seat tube ? I happens ONLY in certain situation : in saddle, cadence 90ish, avg power ( not light spin, neither hammering ).
Did it happened to anyone ?

Do you have a spare seatpost/saddle from another bike you can just swap in place?
I tried already 3 different carbon assmbly compunds ( Pinarello, Ritchey, Tacx )... and without any compound as well.
temporary no access to same dia post
skewers are DT RWS-> no chance for any sound from there

That's a good idea. My mystery noises in the past have usually come from skewers and saddle/seatpost.
Then either try a different seatpost or get out the hacksaw.
hacksaw voids warranty for 3k€ frame, so it's kind of "last resort" solution. Have to arrange short post... Had while ago long posts seating in, but never such issue ...

I thought you meant that the hacksaw voids the warranty on the seatpost. How doesn't it void the warranty on the frame? Some kind of integrated setup?
