There was enough grip that I could get hold of the saddle and twist the post out. Now re assembled with copper slip anti seize compound. Nice! But copper? For a seat post, molybdenum base or copper base paste are fine. The high temp aspect of copper is irrelevant but if that's the can he has then that's the can he should use. I understand the reason for lubing a seat post to be preventing dissimilar metals such as aluminium post and steel frame tubes from coming into contact and galling together. Does galvanic corrosion of the aluminium with the copper element not cause problems? -- davethedave |
