Cries in grease

You absolutely need to put grease where the seat post goes into the seat tube if you don't your seat post will seeze into your frame. This happened to a good friend of mine and he had to destroy the seat post to get it out of the frame. Assembly compound is only needed in situations where there is carbon fiber involved and it is a grease that has grit in it to keep the carbon part from slipping

What you should do is fit your seat post at the height it suits you, then remove the post and lightly grease the post below the point where it clamps. Otherwise it becomes welded to the frame over time. My winter bike has a stuck seat post because I didn't grease it.

I guess the author hasn't heard of galvanic corrosion. If you have an aluminum seat post and a steel frame, you must put grease the seat post, or those two components will eventually be one permanently. I used to paint bicycle frames the only way to remove the seat post was to drill them out with a very large drill. Grease in this instance will prevent galvanic corrosion with steel frames and aluminum seat posts.

He was not very happy with the result and asked me for help: He told me that the guy at the bike shop would have advised to put mineral oil on the brakes (probably meant bleeding them). So he went ahead and placed his pads and rotors in an oil-bath. I had a good laugh out of it because his brakes kept squealing and smelling of oil for months.

Always grease your seatpost. If you have a carbon bike or seat post then you need to use special carbon paste. If you don't, you're going to have problems with your seat basically getting "welded" to the frame. I've always greased my seat posts and have never had an issue with the seat slipping.

Guoenyi i have always greased the seat tube. It is very bad advice not to. If you use aluminium seat tubes in a steel frame a phenomenon known as salt welding can occur due to the dissimilar materials reacting to water percolating down the seat tube. I have seen many a beautiful Campagnolo road frame trashed in this way as aluminium will swell as it oxidises and jam in the down tube with a vice like grip. Sometimes you can bore it out in a machine shop or warm the seat tube enough with a heat gun to spin the frame off the post with the seat pillar clamped in a vice. Grease well with superfine lithium grease and use a strong steel seat clamp and you will be golden.

Only reason they used grease in a seat tube was to prevent the seat post from rusting in place on a steel frame and steal seat tube. Also with steel frames and aluminum seat posts, moisture can literally weld the aluminum to the steel. So always grease steel seat tubes. You don't need a heavy bearing grease, just an assembly or lithium grease would work. Carbon and titanium products are very different stories.

Just look it up in the manufactures manual to be sure. Some will seatposts will slip down but some just need cabonpaste or normal grease so not seize to the frame in no time.

Always grease your seat post, unless it is carbon seat post or folding bike (Brompton or so). I've seen many of seized seat posts, we were removing seized seat post with 2 other mechanics, while two of us were twisting with the whole bike with seat post in a vice and the third one was using a heat gun to expand the steel frame. Trust me, you don't want to deal with seized seat posts. The right process how to install seat post is to clean the seat tube (inside of the frame) with some sort of rotating brush, rug, or even check it with a finger for pieces of sand or metal (you don't want to have scratches on your especially black seat post). You can file or sandpaper some sharp edges from inside of the frame seat tube. Then apply a thin layer of grease around 2-3 inches deep inside of the frame. Install the seat post, tight down the bolt or quick release on the seat collar - make it tight and you won't notice any sliding or movement at all. I've never seen cracked steel or aluminum frame or seat post from overtightening it. Yes, some people using wrong diameters of seat post which does not fit the seat tube in a frame or even wrong size of seat post collar. But if everything is installed correctly, grease won't make the seat post slide. With carbon seat posts it's different story, definitely use adhesive paste instead of grease. Seat post collar has to be tightened with torque wrench only on accurate Nm. I've seen carbon seat posts cracked because of overtightening them. Never grease carbon seat posts and use some adhesive stuff. The only bikes where is no grease or adhesive needed are folding bikes.

I strongly disagree with not putting grease on the seat post it's very common for a seat post to freeze up into the frame sometimes even welding it's self to the frame with certain materials due to a chemical reaction.i have worked at a bike shop for more then a decade and it's insane the number of people that destroyed a seat post or even worse their frame because of it

As a mechanic in the LBS here in the coast of Norway where we have long dark cold winters with allot of rough weather, and lot's and lot's of road salts on the road sometime turning snow into thick slush being sprayed everywhere, you better grease your seatpost good, my boss with over 40 years of wrenching experience said and does the same thing, we have so many people coming over with wedged seatposts that are wedged in the frame, what sickbiker said is a disaster waiting to happen if you have certain types of materials together.

It's so satisfying cleaning up the drivetrain after grease, especially pulleys in my opinion, and that's why i mostly do it.

you have such a nice way of talking. this was enjoyable to watch and I'm going to look at your other videos to learn

I have an exception to "no grease on the seat post": I actually had to grease the bottom tip of my seat post to make it stop creaking against the inside of the frame when pedalling hard. But yes, that's a special case, probably due to sloppy tolerances in my bike frame. Just thought I'd mention it. 🙂

Anyone watching these videos should really take his "facts" with a grain of salt. Essentially the seatpost bit is correct, but if you have a steel framed bike you BETTER put grease in there or you will likely never be able to remove the seatpost again without resorting to extreme measures. Just like in the video where he has his carbon road bike clamped into the workstand by the toptube, SickBiker has some useful tips but displays a shocking lack of knowledge for someone who has taken it upon himself to give cycling advice on KZread.

Grease on the seatpost keeps the seatpost from getting welded into the frame. Carbon on aluminum results in galvanic corrosion, aluminum in aluminum also needs a barrier to separate the materials.

@ Mike sorry for clicking 'thumb up' -- your method is right for steel frame and alu post; there a very very thin layer of grease can prevent galvanic 'welding' (but still it is better to open and clean by time). Carbon is resin with carbon fibers inside, and resin is hardened oil, after all (keeping it simple). So, oil or grease will soften resin and make the material weak. Yes, motor oil is sold in plastic cans, but not for storing very long. If you find a 10 years old plastic oil can in a cellar or a garage, it will stand in a puddle of leaked oil.

He's right that if you take your seatpost out once a year it probably won't seize up in the frame. But greasing seatposts is a good idea esp on non enthusiast's bikes because there's good chance that seatpost won't be moved for years and a thin layer of grease will help prevent any seizing. And as long as there isn't anything wrong with the fittings or frame you should have no problems with slippage.

this is Greece it is shiny it looks so fine - good subtitles lol

Thank you

I've heard that it's okay to grease steel/aluminum seat post.. Because metal on metal contact (between seat post and seat tube) already has a lot of friction. But greasing carbon seat post is a big NO. Agree with you on not greasing the drivetrain, doing so will certainly ruin it
