SILCA Unveils Cutting-Edge Assembly Solution Extending Their Holistic Bike Care Product Range

INDIANAPOLIS, IN [EMBARGO Jan 6th 2026] – SILCA, leader in marginal gains, and known for its dedication to precision and quality in cycling products, today announced the launch of a new advanced formula Hold Fast Carbon Paste. Designed to expand its holistic approach to bicycle care and assembly, the Hold Fast Carbon Pasta rounds out the family of Synergetic Race Grease and Anti-Seize.

SILCA Hold Fast Carbon Paste offers a superior approach to securing torque-sensitive carbon components. Unlike traditional carbon grip pastes that rely on coarse textures in bad smelling grease (a very common complaint from pro mechanics), Hold Fast utilizes a full synthetic silicone, non-migrating, high-tack, high-viscosity, no smell, dye-free formula for cleaner installations and maximum surface stability. Developed for the demands of Carbon-Carbon, Carbon-Aluminum, Carbon-Titanium interfaces, Hold Fast minimizes component stress while maximizing grip on aero cockpits, dropper posts, seat posts, stem-to-steerer interfaces, handlebar clamps, and saddle rails etc.

Key benefits of Hold Fast Carbon Paste include:

• Superior Grip: Ensures components stay securely in place with reduced torque.

• Clean, Precise Installs: Non-migrating formula prevents greasy mess, clear formula with no-dye and no smell.

• Corrosion Protection: Maximum dielectric-strength chemically safeguards components from galvanic corrosion.

• Safe on Multiple Materials: Compatible with carbon, titanium, aluminum alloy, and painted finishes.

• Enhanced Value: Offers better value per gram compared to many premium competitors.

• Made in the USA.

"At SILCA, we are driven by a passion for performance and a commitment to providing cyclists with the highest quality tools, lubricants, and bike care products," said Richard Pool Marketing Director. "Hold Fast stays true to the SILCA approach in product development, of finding and solving common problems other brands ignore.”

Hold Fast completes the bicycle assembly product line extending the SILCA holistic approach. Now you can go from complete bicycle builds to cleaning and stay within the SILCA product family. SILCA Hold Fast is made in the USA and trusted by professional mechanics and shop technicians worldwide. Without dyes or added scents, it’s very shop friendly for extended use.

Hold Fast Carbon Paste is available in a 100cc tube (3.38oz/95.82g) with a MAP of $20.00.
