Muc-Off Carbon Gripper

Muc-off Carbon Gripper was developed to prevent carbon components tightened to a lower torque slipping or coming undone. After all, you don't want your saddle to drop all of a sudden! This is why the people at Muc-off have created a simple but effective solution in the form of this highly advanced Carbon Gripper paste! Designed especially for cyclists who do their own bike maintenance.

The Muc-Off Carbon Gripper provides friction between the carbon clamping areas, due to its anti-slip formula. This means you no longer have to exceed the recommended tightening torque, which in turn reduces the risk of material fatigue, internal fractures or a shortened lifespan of your components.

• Keeps parts in place
• 'Anti-slip' formula
• Especially designed for carbon parts

Can I use ordinary mounting paste on my carbon parts?
No, we do not recommend this! Carbon paste is made especially for carbon, which is more vulnerable to over-tightening. It provides extra friction without damaging the carbon, so the part stays tight and doesn't creak. Carbon paste ensures that you do not need to exceed the tightening moment and that your parts remain fixed for a long time.

How do I use carbon pastes?
Assembly grease should be applied to the component to be assembled and to the threads of bolts. If the component is made of carbon, then carbon paste should be used, otherwise ordinary assembly grease will do. You can apply it with a brush, directly from the tube or just with your fingers. In principle, you should use assembly paste on all bolts with a thread, as well as the following parts: saddles, seat posts, stems, pedals and thru axles. Re-apply grease when you've loosened a component. It's also advisable to loosen the parts once in a while, clean them and apply new paste.
