Here is an interesting exchange between Craig Calfee of carbon/bamboo bike frame fame and Lennard Zinn, legendary mechanic/author and tech writer for VeloNews: http://www.velonews.com/tech/report/articles/9023.0.html In short, it states that carbon is not damaged by grease, and corrosion between seatpost and frame IS possible!!!

FSA makes the stuff, I believe. Then there is that new goop that they are touting with the microscopic spheres that causes more friction on carbon posts so that they won’t slip down in a seat tube.
