There’s special pastes and greases for carbon posts and bikes. June 7, 2013 at 02:37 #119560 MTI Yea make sure if you have carbon to be careful and only use the special stuff for that. For me I put a very light layer of anti-seize grease on the rails of my seatpost and that works great. Author Posts Viewing 2 reply threads You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
