There are a few bolts I do not grease as long as the threads are rust free. These include cable anchors, saddle tension bolts, down tube friction shifter bolts and rim brake shoes/pads.
Would you say I need to put grease inside the seat tube between the saddle rod and the interior walls of the seat tube? Won't that make the saddle rod slip down?
