Tacx carbon assembly compound - in Dublin?

DirkVoodoo

Does anyone know if any shops in Dublin stock "Tacx carbon assembly compound"? I was going to go with the Finish Line carbon grease on CRC but supposedly the Tacx stuff is superior. Unfortunately it is more difficult to locate online, without heading off to the states and paying for huge shipping (well, for a 10 euro tube of paste).

I bought mine from Cycleways. It's downstairs near the workshop with all the cogs, tubes etc

I have not used this compound before, but would consider it for seatpost and stem if it does not make removal or adjustment of the parts more difficult. Has any previous user of this product experienced problems like this?

Can't speak for the Tacx stuff, but the "micro balls" in the Finish Line grease are meant to scuff the clearcoat on your carbon parts. With a seatpost this isn't too bad, as anything below the clamp is unseen, but if you are buying it in the hope of selling it on later, it's worth noting.

For me, any scuffing is minimal compared to the risks of galvanic corrosion, which has now replaced brain aneurysm and slipping in the shower as my biggest fear.

I use the Finish Line one, stuff is more likely to stick without it. Had big trouble with carbon seat post in a ti frame without it, very difficult to shift and post covered in black dust. Never had that carbon in carbon- or Alu for that matter.
