Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Silca Hold Fast Carbon Paste 95.82g

Season:Non-Seasonal

Brand:Silca

Code:SI/162963

SILCA HOLD FAST CARBON PASTE
Hold Fast Carbon Paste does what other pastes promise but don’t—secure your components with less torque and zero mess. Trusted in pro-level builds and clean enough for everyday maintenance.

SILCA 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.


Compared to industry standards from others, Hold Fast offers:

  • Sticky, non-grease formula that resists sliding and migration
  • Three to four times more silicate friction additive than typical carbon pastes
  • Clear and dye-free—won’t stain fingers, clothing, or paint
  • Designed to meet the torque and grip demands of modern performance bikes
  • Ideal for cockpit and seatpost installs at lower torque values
  • Easily cleans up with SILCA Gear Wipes
Recommended Application
  • Carbon or alloy seatposts
  • Dropper post assemblies
  • Stem-to-steerer tube interfaces
  • Handlebar clamps
  • Saddle rails and clamps
  • Any clamping interface where reduced torque and anti-slip performance is needed
Technical Specifications
  • Formulation: High-tack silicone with refined silicate friction modifiers
  • Finish Compatibility: Carbon, alloys, titanium, and painted surfaces
  • Shelf Life: 5 years
  • Country of Origin: USA

NOTE: Do not apply to threaded parts or use for bearing lubrication. Use SILCA Synergetic Race Grease & Anti-Seize Assembly Paste for threads and rotational assemblies.
