Stem wedge - Dry or Grease?

(1/2) > >>

JD_76:
Just a quick one lads, should the o/s type 1" stems that have a wedge to hold them in the fork tube be dry or covered in grease?

On old bikes I have taken appart they seem to have some kind of lube on them, just not sure.

Cheers.

 grease always for me , you`ll thank yourself for greasing , when you come to remove it and it glides out and doesn`t  cause a nightmare and fook up  :daumenhoch:

When I stripped my Kuw after leaving it in a damp shed for over 10 years the stem slid out like I fitted it yesterday.

Grease.

moley:
Any Metal to metal should be greased!!

It stops creaking too!!   

And use Cod liver oil to grease your brittle bones JD.  I dont want ya snapping in half when ya bail over the pro section at Preston!!  :LolLolLolLol:

PS.   Dont grease ya brake pads or your sidewall of ya rims!!    I'll do that for ya at Preston when ya aint lookin'!!  :D
