The Finish Line Fiber Carbon Grip is designed for cyclists using carbon fiber components, offering a secure grip to prevent slippage and eliminate the need for over-tightening clamps. Its key benefit is enhancing safety and protecting delicate carbon surfaces. A potential caveat is that its effectiveness depends on proper, thin application.

Apply a thin, even film to all clamping areas. Avoid over-application; a little is sufficient to create the necessary friction.
This product is specifically designed for carbon fiber components. For aluminum or steel, standard grease is generally recommended.
Reapply whenever components are removed for maintenance, adjustments, or after a significant period of use, especially if you notice any potential for slippage.
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed, Fiber Grip typically has a long shelf life. However, avoid using if the gel appears to have dried out or changed consistency.
While its primary function is to prevent slippage, by ensuring a secure and correctly torqued connection, it can indirectly help reduce noise caused by components moving against each other.
Yes, using Fiber Grip allows you to achieve the correct torque specification more reliably, preventing over-tightening which can damage carbon components.
Ensure the surfaces were clean and dry before application. Reapply a thin, even layer of Fiber Grip and tighten bolts to the correct torque specification using a torque wrench.
Apply a smaller amount of gel at a time and use a clean fingertip or a small brush to spread it into a thin, consistent film over the contact area.
Ensure the cap was fully sealed after the last use. If it's still usable but slightly dry, try adding a tiny drop of water and mixing thoroughly, but for best results, consider replacing old product.
Setup: Ensure the surfaces of both the component (e.g., handlebar, seatpost) and the clamp (e.g., stem, seat tube clamp) are clean and dry before application. Open the tube and apply a thin, even film of the Fiber Grip gel to the areas that will be in contact under the clamp. Avoid applying excessively; a little goes a long way. Assemble the component and tighten the clamp bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications using a torque wrench.
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for use with carbon fiber-to-carbon fiber or carbon fiber-to-metal interfaces where friction is critical. It is compatible with stems, handlebars, seat posts, seat tubes, and other clamped carbon bicycle components.
Care: Store the Fiber Grip in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent the gel from drying out. If components are removed for maintenance or adjustments, it is recommended to clean the old grip material off both surfaces and reapply a fresh, thin layer of Fiber Grip.
