This may sound like a stupid question. For years, I've greased pivot bolts + threads (sometimes loctite on the threads depending on history of the bolts coming loose). Anyway, the question is whether the bolt shaft itself should be greased or left dry...dry would cause the pivot bearing to move rather than the bolt rotating within the bearing. It seems like dry is better...and we shall leave the dirty minds at the door before typing something inappropriate...because lubing the shaft is important...damnit I failed.
Mtb-specific thoughts?
