FAQ
Even with a torque wrench, carbon can slip because the material is very smooth. By using Carbon Paste, you need less force (Nm) to achieve the same grip. This provides an extra safety margin for your delicate frames and components, reducing the risk of cracks from over-tightening.
No, use Mounting Paste for those. Carbon Paste contains grip-enhancing granules; on threads that need to turn smoothly these granules can damage the threading. Only use Carbon Paste on clamping joints such as stems, seatposts, and handlebar clamps.
A thin, even layer on the contact surface is sufficient. After you have mounted and tightened the component to the correct torque, wipe away any excess paste with a dry cloth. Using more than necessary does not improve performance and can contaminate nearby surfaces.
First, make both surfaces completely grease-free using our Daily Degreaser. Then apply a fresh layer of Carbon Paste. The granules need a perfectly clean surface to grip optimally. If slipping continues after this, the torque specification from the frame manufacturer may need to be followed more precisely.
