Trusted in pro-level builds and clean enough for everyday maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSILCA Hold Fast Carbon Paste delivers superior grip and cleaner installs through a high-tack silicone formula - setting it apart from traditional carbon grip pastes that rely on dyed greases and low-density texture additives. Originally developed at the request of pro mechanics from VISMA | Lease a Bike, Hold Fast was engineered to solve real-world frustrations: stained clothing, slick grease bases, and poor grip at low torque. It increases surface friction, allowing for lower clamping torque while reducing the risk of fatigue, slippage, or damage to carbon and alloy parts. While most carbon pastes rely on grease as a base, Hold Fast uses a clean, high-tack silicone carrier that stays in place, wipes clean, and is safe on carbon, titanium, aluminum, and painted finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to industry standards from others, Hold Fast offers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSticky, non-grease formula that resists sliding and migration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree to four times more silicate friction additive than typical carbon pastes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear and dye-free—won’t stain fingers, clothing, or paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to meet the torque and grip demands of modern performance bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for cockpit and seatpost installs at lower torque values\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasily cleans up with SILCA Gear Wipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Application\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon or alloy seatposts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDropper post assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem-to-steerer tube interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle rails and clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny clamping interface where reduced torque and anti-slip performance is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormulation: High-tack silicone with refined silicate friction modifiers\u003cbr\u003eFinish Compatibility: Carbon, alloys, titanium, and painted surfaces\u003cbr\u003eShelf Life: 5 years\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eNOTE: Do not apply to threaded parts or use for bearing lubrication.
