Ti post in steel frame ?
Simple question, titanium seatpost in a steel frame. What's the consensus on lube to prevent it getting stuck ? Ti prep / grease etc...

Cheers

anti seize
Anti-seize is grease with very small bits of metal. the rule I use is it's for moving parts, such as bearings, use grease. if its for threads and clamping, use anti-seize.
