Seatpost Install

Have you ever had a squeak come from your bike that wouldn't go away no matter what you loosened or tightened, disassembled and reassembled, or beat with a hammer out of frustration? It might have been your seat post. First grease the clamp bolt to keep if from seizing up and add to its longevity. Add grease to the seat post itself. Grease it beyond the point you think it will be installed into the frame. The grease will eliminate metal on metal rub that causes the elusive squeak which you might think is everything else but the seat post. Tighten the clamp bolt and you should see grease squeeze out above the seat tube. Wipe clean and enjoy no more squeaks.
