Sorry couldn't resist. ๐Ÿ™‚

That said, just used carbon assembly paste for the first time and it felt petty similar with that gritiness!

Apparently....

This stuff doesn't...I got recommended it on here and seems to do the job without the gritty stuff to scratch up your bars.

Great.... now I learn there is potentially a "better" paste available!

Serves me right for trying to make a rubbish joke. lol

Damn it! Might have to buy that stuff now.

That said the Tacx stuuf, gritty asi it is, does seem to do the job fine.

Scratch ? What are you doing with your bars once they tightened ?

Ice not had the stuff enough to see if the other guy is right about it scratching bars.

Does feel gritty though?

That said, yeah, once torqued up scratching shouldn't be an issue.

Hopefully!

This stuff is even betterer. Recommended to me for fixing a dodgy eccentric bottom bracket (made of aluminium in a steel frame but whatever) and its really good at what it's meant to be used for too. [url= http://www.effettomariposa.eu/en/products/carbogrip/ ]linky[/url]

Great.... I have already ordered the Motorex stuff. Lol

Will keep that stuff you link to in mind though as I have a carbon frame with a PF BB. ๐Ÿ™‚
