I use Ti prep on BB cups (when threading them into the BB shell) only and rest is all grease.

The only time I've ever had a problem was when I used grease on a Moots ti seatpost in a Moots YBB Air. It was never ridden/raced in the rain. Always cleaned after each ride. Never crashed. It was my personal bike. So incredibly well taken care. I ran out of Finish Line ti prep after putting the head cups and bb in. I used Finish Line Teflon/Lithium grease on the post. After a month of riding I loosened it to do a saddle height adjustment and the post was stuck. I finally got it loose and it had black/dark colored marks on the post where grease obviously touched it. The marks were kind of thick, what I would call solidified grease. I've seen it before on other posts/bikes. This happened in 2003/2004. After that, I always made sure to have an extra can of ti prep around. And I include a tube of it with titanium frames.
