I suspect this has to do with all my hours on the trainer, but my carbon-wrapped alloy seatpost seems to very quickly start to stick in my aluminum frame even when I use grease, fiber grip, or anti-sieze.
Are there any solutions to prevent it from sticking while also not slipping when properly torqued?
Maybe I should use anti-seize on the shaft but also put a coat of marine grease on the top of the tube to prevent the ingress of sweat.
I use FSA Carbon Compound on my seat posts, and it works great. It is safe for aluminum as well. It comes in an 80 gram size, which will last ages. I try to get my seat posts out every 3 months to treat them and minimize any sticking.
Muc Off Carbon Gripper. You have to use a carbon paste. You don’t want to over torque and crack it. And regular grease will slip. And nothing will make is seize up.
I cleaned and buffed the seatpost, ungunked the inside of the seat tube, and reinstalled the seatpost with carbon grease again. It hasn’t been this smooth in a while. Hopefully this time it will go better than before.
