    Is this the same stuff as carbon assembly paste? I wanted to put something on the seatpost, but am thinking it would end up stuck for good if I use the rim cement?

    Cheers

    Definitely not the same thing. It's glue.

    That's the one cheers, will stay away from it so.

    Is it necessary to put proper carbon paste on the seatpost or is it better just to have it at the proper torque?

    you probably dont want to use cement of the seat post. This type of thing is probably what your after http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_189950_langId_-1_categoryId_212531

    Speaking of which, can you put this:

    which is designed for aluminium wheels, on carbon rims (as I suspect that is what the guy who mounted the tubs on my TT bike wheels has done:rolleyes:)

    Yup, I ran standard conti glue and they never rolled. I think the carbon stuff is a gimmick/money spinner.

    I think the main selling point is that carbon-specific stuff is more heat resistant. I doubt if it would ever be an issue on Irish roads.
