But on bikes there is stuff like: Ritchey Liquid Torque "Creates extra friction between two surfaces, allowing tightening torque to be reduced
by up to 30%.
Particularly useful for use where over-clamping can damage sensitive components such as Carbon bars or steerer tubes.
Approved for use with carbon, steel, alloy and titanium surfaces.
Use with Ritchey Torqkey to ensure safe installation of Ritchey bars and stems."
Effeto " Carbogrip
Carbogrip is a special high-molecular weight silicone resin that, sprayed on a component, creates a strong grippy surface.
HIGHLIGHTS:
– prevents part slippage and the consequent overtorqueing of the fixing bolts
– facilitates clamping of smooth carbon parts
– anti-seizing
– perfect as threadlock (steel, titanium, aluminum, carbon bolts)
– waterproof
– very easy to use: no need for brushes as with other assembly pastes/liquids "
