Put anti seize on my seatpost bolt last month and now it keeps slipping no matter what I torque it to
I read somewhere that greasing threads stops creaking so I slathered anti seize on the binder bolt of my 2019 Kona Rove and torqued it to the 6 Nm stamped on the collar. Two rides later the post slid down an inch and I nearly ate it at a stoplight on Franklin Ave. Figured out anti seize cuts friction so the same torque number gives way less clamp force, which I should have known from doing head bolts on my truck. Do you all drop the torque spec when you grease a bolt, or just skip grease on anything that clamps?

Did you back the torque off after greasing it or just leave it at 6 Nm? Curious how much lower you go when there's anti seize on there.
