Super stupid question now but what about where the stem clamps the steerer tube and where it clamps the bars?

Admiral Ackbar:
i always grease the steerer, makes getting the stem on and off easier. never really thought to do the bar clamp tho, i usually leave that clean and dry

hugh.:
Ok cool. Final question, should I grease the seat post? It's an aluminium Thompson

Admiral Ackbar:
yesss definitely grease your seat post. you don't know frustration until you have to unseize a seized seat post.

hugh.:
right ill grease it then. Thanks Admiral. Sorry about all the dumb questions but im building up a new bike and want to get everything right. Cheers
