Weightweenies = lightweight stuff = requires the best carbon paste for low torque bolts
What carbon paste have you found to be the best?
I use Motorex carbon paste right now which I found to be working really good. I also know Muc off pink carbon paste is excellent for difficult seatpost.
Tried Fenwick from Wiggle but it was not as good especially not on high end parts requiring lower torque on the bolts.
Anyone who has experience with Effetto Carbogrip? Either spray or 3ml resin packs.

I bought the Effetto but yet to try it, would like to hear your opinions of you have tried it

You use carbon paste on bolts? Carbon paste is just grease with some grit inside to create friction.
I wouldn't be wooed by overpriced grease like carbogrip or most products like these marketed to bicycle nerds.
I bought a tube of Mobile 1 synthetic grease for like $3 around 20 years ago and I'm still using it. I think the same tube is $8 today. You can find it in the automotive supply area. I have a small tube of Park carbon paste which I use for surfaces that might slip - like seatposts or handlebars and that is lasting forever since my stable of 4 bikes doesn't need it very often.

That, or Effetto Mariposa Carbogrip.
If you can, buy the blister version. I bought the spray bottle and it's annoying to occasionally use it. Because it clog up the nozzle a lot after sometime resting no used.
