Carbon paste, grease or dry?

[NeilnrLincoln]

Hi all.
I've just bought my first carbon bike (a Boardman road team carbon). Just checking & setting it all up.
It has an aluminium seat post and obviously a carbon frame, should the seat post be greased (as I would normally do with my alloy framed bikes), should I use carbon paste or just leave dry?
Thanks.
Neil.

Don't grease it under any circumstances and don't leave it dry. Use carbon paste.

Right, thanks. I wasn't sure if carbon paste was just for use when the seatpost is carbon too.

Can you carbon paste an alloy post in an alloy frame?

By alloy you mean aluminium, not steel? Then yes.

Sorry yes aluminium, cheers
