Does anyone know of a 'clean' grease that would work to keep the seat post from binding? Not sure if that's the most bizarre question I've ever asked in a forum, but if anyone knows what I mean, I'd love an answer!
I use Tri-Flow synthetic grease with teflon. Make sure you wipe-off all the excess from the seat post...it's not necessary to have a film of grease stuck on the seat post...all it does is attract dirt and grime.
