Carbon Fiber and Steel?
Are there any problems/issues with using CF (Seat posts, stems etc.) on a steel frame?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I assume the stem is for a threadless fork/headset so it shouldn't matter what the frame is made of.
Carbon fiber seatposts seems to have problems in almost any frame so steel isn't a particular issue. There are a lot of reports of slipping no matter what the seatpost is installed in.
