This thread might be good reference material for anyone wrenching on carbon bars/stems/seatposts...

For the same price, you can get a whole tin full of Tacx paste from Fairwheel Bikes.
Did you guys read the text for that "little" plastic bag?
It contains 80 gram which is excactly the same amount as in the Tacx Dynamic tin. I'm sure the FSA paste is just Tacx Dynamic paste put in another pacakge. They are both tranperent red.

But 25$ is still very expensive both for the 80 gram plastic bag, but also for the 80 gram Tacx Dynamic tin.
You can buy the 80 gram Tacx Dynamic tin for 11.78$ at Bikebuster.com for example.


Tacx Dynamic Assembly Compound is produced in both in 20 gram injection and 80 gram tin:

That stuff works, guys. It's especially good for carbon, and can be used for carbon/carbon, or any two surfaces like carbon/alloy, etc. Any place where friction is required, this gives you up to 40% more. It also provides weather-sealing. Also, where carbon is concerned, always check max torque ratings and use a torque wrench. That little torque wrench we make at Ritchey works with all our bars and stems - mechanics on the pro tour teams we sponsor carry them in their kits, they work great.
