– Gel contains non-Abrasive plastic beads that provide increased surface friction
– Allows for reduced clamping force, prevents crushing of expensive carbon parts (Brake lever/Bar, Bar/Stem, Stem/Steerer, Seatpost/Frame, Etc)
– Prevents corrosion/scuffing and quiets creaking noises
– Can also be used on non-carbon parts where an increase in clamping friction and/or a reduction in clamping force is desired
– Always follow the manufacturer’s torque specifications when clamping carbon parts
