Carbon Paste

Carbon fiber frames and components are fantastic but they do require a little more diligence on install. In the past, we'd put grease on any threaded or press fit assembly on a bike build. Nowadays, on carbon parts that we don't want to move, we use Motorex Carbon Paste for two reasons: it prevents the slick clearcoat on many carbon components from sliding, and we know that it is safe for carbon whereas some greases might be questionable breaking down resin and fiber. The paste prevents over torqued bolts in an attempt to keep components from slipping which can result in stripped and snapped bolts, cracked clamps, or crushed components.


If you haven’t been using anything on carbon assemblies, shame on you. Dry components make noise, they corrode, and they're prone to slip. The paste is slightly gritty so carbon on carbon interfaces will require much less torque to stay put. This transparent paste is a godsend when working with ultra-lightweight parts where specific torque values are important for safety.

Yes

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I had muc off paste before this. It worked well but Its hard to resist eating that stuff it smells so darn good. It also kinda looked like strawberry jam. When I switched to this paste I did notice it held tad better with less creaking. Also it doesnt smell or look like food which is probably how it should be.

Pricey but worth it for no grit

I got this because people said this is a unique carbon paste that holds without being gritty which causes scratches in your carbon parts. I've used this on a couple bikes and a few years and it works great. I use it on seatposts and on my newer bike also the handlebars to stem. I've never seen a scratch on my parts even on an old seatpost that was a steel frame to carbon. It holds well without feeling like it's basically loctite. I should probably inspect my seatposts more often as per the manufactuers' recommendation but in 4 months my handlebars are still set well without over torquing. My seatpost is 1nm under recommendation and does not slip(I use the tighten until you can't twist to see if it is set, back off a bit and see if you can move it, then have checked the torque to make sure method). I'm a heavier rider too at 200lbs so most people who ride and look like cyclists will probably not have slip issues. I ride too on really bumpy in need of repaving country roads. It's clear-ish and cleans up easy with just a damp towel.
