The road bike has seen zero use for a number of months and I recently removed the ally seatpost to find what appears to be some galvanic corrosion in areas where the anodising had been damaged. Thus far I've avoided applying grip past since a) I'm tight and b) I don't really like the idea of putting something abrasive between two components that (if only on occasion) have to be slid past each other.
All that said I don't want a corroded / seized seatpost either and don't want ot use grease as I imagine this would only mean higher clamping torques were necessary..
So, I'm after recommendations for the least-aggressive, effective assembly paste please - the "most helpful" review of the Park Tool stuff on CRC suggests that it actually scatched the guy's seatpost so I'll be avoiding that (and hopefully anything similar)!
