two dumb questions

[taz-t]

1) Carbon seatpost and steel frame - grease or no grease? (my first carbon post).

2) 9 speed chain with campy 10 spd chainrings - will this work? Planning to use 9 speed rear der, cassette, chain, but only have a 10spd crank. Would really like to avoid buying 9spd Record chainrings if I can avoid it.

thanks,
Taz

i also never take out the residual framesaver spu (can i say
that word here?) and it acts to tact up the post and keep
from sliding. grease exacerbates (as aopposed to master...)
the problem atmo.

i hope the folks out in the hinterlands are taking notes.
the train may be leaving soonmo.

In that case the bad guys have won.
