Carbon Seatpost - Alu Frame

Diggabot · 2014-01-25 14:26:27

Hi I'm sure this has probably been asked before... I've just bought a Fizik Cyrano carbon seatpost and its going into an alu frame. I've read different things about adding grease and not. Am I right to think that I shouldn't add any grease at all unless the seatpost moves and then I should only use carbon paste? No doubt…

No doubt I'll get about 10 conflicting answers though haha

For what it's worth, I use the special carbon "grease".

Carbon paste, It has tiny beads in it to give grip. Nomal grease, post might slip.
