I have a Carbon Seatpost in a USE plastic shim. When new I could pull the seatpost (back) upto pedalling height and rest my finger on the shim to keep it in the frame. Now that the surface is no longer glossy the shim has a somewhat firmer hold on the seatpost to the point that I have to take both out the frame and give it some force to make the shim move along the seatpost. Its fine putting the saddle down, just resetting up is a problem. I assume some form of grease suitable for use with carbon seatposts would help? If so whats good and can you point out where I can get some
I've lost all the info. i had on this, the only thing I'd say is that it is worth doing as I have the misfortune of having two inches of seat post in the seat tube of my road bike after it got stuck and I had to knock it in, rather than pull it out. Pretty sure Scott make a carbon specific grease.
