What customers say
Cyclists overwhelmingly value Fiber Grip Assembly Gel for its exceptional ability to prevent slippage on carbon fiber components like seatposts and handlebars. Users consistently report that the gel's unique formulation creates necessary friction, allowing secure fastening with significantly reduced clamping force. This is a major benefit, offering crucial protection against crushing delicate carbon parts due to excessive torque. While application can be slightly messy, this minor issue is far outweighed by the superior performance and the confidence it provides. Reviewers consider this long lasting gel a must have for maintaining component security and enhancing the safety of their carbon bikes.
Know before you buy
Carbon fiber components are slippery and can shift under pressure. This gel adds friction to the surface, allowing you to secure parts like seat posts and stems firmly without having to over-tighten the bolts, which protects the carbon from cracking.
No, the gel uses specialized fumed silica particles designed to create grip without damaging the finish of your carbon fiber parts. It is specifically formulated to be safe for high-performance bicycle components.
You only need a very thin, even film on the surface where the clamp makes contact. A little goes a long way, and applying too much won't improve the grip.
Yes, the formula is 60% biodegradable over a 28-day period. It uses a non-toxic, white mineral oil base, making it a more responsible choice for your maintenance kit.
While designed for carbon fiber, it is also effective for preventing slippage on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-carbon interfaces. It is a versatile solution for any clamped component prone to movement.
