Anti Seize, never seize, Ti Prep,...

Some people like to use all of the above in place of grease and that is o.k. The true use of anti-seize is between similar metals (Ti on Ti, AL on AL, Steel on Steel, so they do not bond together...

I suggest grease on all threaded surfaces ( bolts, nuts, ...)

I suggest Never seize on ti seatposts in a Ti frame.

I suggest blue loctite on thread bolts that run the risk of vibrating loose (full suspension bike stuff).

I hope I am helping, if anyone else wants to chime in please do..

Happy Trails I'm off to be crushed by Sam Wheeler our shipper and Clark, Merlins telephone person. Have a great weekend.
