I'm putting together my first ever threadless headset with sealed bearings... What ought to be greased? Park Tool and Barnetts have nothing I can find to say on the subject, and I'm used to (lightly) greasing dead near everything that contacts anything, but the LBS that originally assembled the frame / fork / headset seems not to have greased *anything* - though perhaps they just assumed I would before final assembly and riding.

Help!

Thanks!

a little bit on the bearing surfaces I would say but NOT the steerer tube
