The Muc-Off Carbon Gripper Assembly Compound is a premium-grade, non-slip friction paste designed specifically to prevent bicycle carbon fibre components from slipping or coming undone under low clamping torque. By introducing essential mating friction, it reduces the clamping force required to secure parts, significantly lowering the risk of material fatigue, structural fractures, or shortened component lifespans caused by over-tightening.
Texture/Formula: Thick viscosity, featuring a highly advanced formula embedded with natural pumice grain to generate surface-to-surface traction.
Primary Function: Acts as a safe structural interface replacement for standard grease on carbon fiber parts, which would otherwise cause components to slip.
Target Applications
Carbon-to-Carbon Interfaces: Prevents a carbon seatpost from dropping inside a carbon frame or shifting during a ride.
Carbon-to-Metal Interfaces: Securely locks a carbon handlebar into an alloy stem faceplate, neutralizing rotational slippage caused by leveraging force on the hoods.
Noise Dampening: Eliminates annoying creaks and groans that naturally occur between dry, tight bicycle contact points.
Multi-Source Merchant Availability

How to Properly Apply
Thoroughly clean and degrease both mating surfaces before application.
Apply a sparse, thin, even layer of Carbon Gripper directly onto the clamping area.
Assemble the component and use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten to the manufacturer's exact recommended specification.
Completely wipe away any excess paste that squeezes out of the sides to ensure a clean finish.
