Carbon Question

Do you grease a carbon seat post with a carbon bike seat tube? I know you do with aluminum but do not know about carbon to carbon.

The reason you grease a metal seatpost in a metal frame is to keep the two from corroding together. Carbon doesn't corrode so that's a non-issue. However grease may damage the carbon laminate. DON'T DO IT
