Product Information

Full details

The Weldtite TF2 Carbon Fibre Gripper Paste is an essential maintenance solution for cyclists using carbon fiber components, designed to improve grip and structural security. It is ideal for cyclists and mechanics performing assembly or adjustments on handlebars, stems, and seatposts who need to prevent component slippage without over-tightening bolts. While it provides excellent friction for carbon surfaces, users must ensure it is applied sparingly and avoided on non-carbon threaded surfaces where standard grease is more appropriate.

FAQs

Can I use this paste on metal parts?

While it can be used where carbon meets metal, it should not be used as a lubricant for moving metal parts or threaded bolts.

Do I need a torque wrench with this paste?

Yes, always use a torque wrench to ensure you do not exceed the recommended tightening force for your specific carbon components.

Is this paste harmful to carbon fiber?

No, it is specifically formulated to be safe for use on all carbon fiber bicycle components.

How often should I reapply the gripper paste?

It is recommended to clean and reapply whenever you remove the component for maintenance or if you notice any slipping during rides.

Can I use this on my chain or bearings?

No, this is a friction paste, not a lubricant. Using it on bearings or chains will cause damage and poor performance.

Troubleshooting

Component still slipping after application

Clean the surface thoroughly with a degreaser to remove residual oil and ensure a fresh, even coat of paste is applied.

Gritty sound when adjusting parts

The paste contains friction-enhancing agents which are naturally textured. If the sound is excessive, wipe clean and check for debris or sand contamination.

Paste has dried out or hardened

Ensure the cap is tightened after every use. If the product is very old, it may need to be replaced to maintain its performance properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly reduces the risk of over-tightening carbon components
Prevents annoying seatpost slippage and handlebar rotation
Protects against the galvanic or chemical seizing of carbon parts
Easy to apply with a consistent, non-runny consistency

Cons

Not suitable for use as a general-purpose lubricant on metal threads
Can leave a slightly gritty residue if over-applied
Requires careful cleaning before reapplying fresh paste

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the paste, ensure that both the component and the frame surface are completely clean and free of old grease or dirt. Use a degreaser to remove residues, then wipe dry. Apply a thin, even coat of the paste to the area of the carbon component that will be clamped. Once inserted and positioned, tighten the bolts gradually using a torque wrench to ensure you do not exceed the component's maximum torque rating. When performing maintenance in the future, wipe away the old paste completely before reapplying a fresh layer to avoid the buildup of debris and grit that could potentially mar the carbon surface.
