I was replying to this: "I’m hoping the T9 works its way deeper into the crevices. I have real stem grease coming via Amazon tomorrow - do you all think I should add that to the stem/bar interface as well? "
The stem/bar interface should get nothing, the stem/steerer interface should get grease, and I'll admit I missed what crevices the T-9 is supposed to be working its way into... it won't hurt the stem/steerer interface but it probably won't help much either: a thicker grease is better there. Boeshield is for where you want to lube or prevent corrosion, neither of which is the case at the handlebar clamp. *Handlebar clamp area should be clean and dry and the correct size for the stem being used*, otherwise bar may slip. Worth checking all threads involved (stem bolts) and making sure the *threads* aren't dry, though.
