If you put say a bit of old inner tube as a 'sleeve' over the clamp area, I would think that it would be best to check that it's not actually *holding* any moisture there occasionally, especially after riding in the rain/snow.
If we look hard enough, we will find fly poop in the pepper.
A friend was a mechanic for the Schwinn race team back in the early '80s and they used
tight fitting tube over the seatpost clamp because the BB was not sealed(cartridge) and it kept moisture out.(road water/sweat/pee, as some did on the bike)
I will try to post less in this forum as there are already enough guys here with pliers & hammer.
