I usually put a liberal coat of grease on seat posts and stems prior to installing them. The intent being to avoid creaking and / or parts becoming stuck. When I put a Nitto lugged seat post on my Bombadil I had trouble getting it to stay put. On every ride it would slip down in the seat tube. Eventually I wiped the post and the inside of my seat tube as clean as I could, and since then things have been fine. I think I read somebody commenting that the lugged stem always tended to slip on them. My bullmoose bars generally stay put but any time the bike falls over they do end up off center. So I wonder, is there a consensus on the best approach to installing Nitto steel stems and seat posts with the dull bright coating. Grease, no grease, Boeshield T9, bees wax, ... ????
