my creaking seatpost.
Why is it doing this...the creaking that is. It is so amazingly annoying. It creaks everytime the slightest bump is hit...which is you know, constantly. Its a CF giant seatpost in an aluminum frame. The saddle is a WTB rocket V. I have tried tightening the seatpost clamp, the seat clamp, and greasing the post. I have no idea what more to do but buy another seatpost.
anyone have any ideas?

absolutely positive. You can get to creak just by pushing on it when your off the bike.
That said, I am afraid I might have cracked it in a crash or something...could that cause the creaking?

I have a creak in my saddle and it is just in the rails somewhere, might be that. Same sort of thing. I don't know what it could be if it were the seat post.
