FAQs
What is Peaty's Max Grip Carbon Paste?
It is a paste designed to eliminate slippage between carbon fiber components, increasing friction and reducing the required torque for clamping.
Where can I use this paste?
It is ideal for carbon fiber handlebars, stems, and seat posts.
Is the formula safe for the environment?
Yes, it is made of renewable, natural oils and pumice particles and is readily biodegradable.
How do I apply the paste?
Clean the carbon fiber component, apply a thin layer of paste, assemble the parts and tighten to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
What if my components still slip?
Double-check that the correct torque is applied. Re-apply the paste after cleaning the surfaces.
Is it necessary to use a torque wrench?
Yes, using a torque wrench is essential to ensure the components are tightened correctly, preventing damage and ensuring safety.
How often should I reapply the paste?
Reapply the paste when disassembling and reassembling components or if slippage occurs.
What kind of packaging is used?
The packaging is made from 100% PCR & PIR recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Component slipping after application.
Ensure a thin, even layer of paste was applied. Check torque settings using a torque wrench and re-tighten to the manufacturer's specifications. If slippage persists, disassemble, clean, reapply the paste, and reassemble.
Difficulty disassembling components.
Use a suitable tool to gently separate the components. Avoid excessive force, as this can damage the carbon fiber.
