Beginning to regret buying an Italian bike now; got a Basso Diamante '23 frame, and can I find a fucking manual for anything? Nope. Through a bit of searcing, I finally found out how to adjust the seatpost clamp (Basso don't explain this anywhere), but the saddle clamp is baffling me. No info if it's for carbon or alloy rails, but tightening it up (to apparently 13Nm according to some random internet nerd) still leaves the rails wobbling in the clamp. I guess it's for carbon rails? I'm using alloy. No bother, I'll check online against a picture of the spare clamps you can buy! Oh, mine looks like neither of those. So I can order one and it'll either be the same and still not work, or it will.
Also, cannot get rid of the slight creaking noise when turning the bars. I've used internal routing dampening foam on both brake hoses, and the Di2 wires (because I've already taken the whole fucking bike apart 17 times now trying to stop the noise, so why not) and it's still there. Given up now, I don't even care anymore.
Stupid bikes.
