SILCA Hold Fast Carbon Assembly Paste is a friction paste for assembling carbon and alloy bike components, from cockpits to seatposts. Instead of the dyed grease base found in typical carbon pastes, it uses a high-tack silicone carrier packed with added silicate friction additive, letting installers reach secure clamping at lower torque values without sacrificing grip.
The clear, dye-free formula won't stain fingers, clothing, or paint, and it resists sliding or migrating out of the joint over time. It's compatible with carbon, titanium, aluminum, and painted finishes, and any residue wipes away easily with SILCA Gear Wipes for a clean assembly process.
