Carbon frame headset install

[John U]

Got myself a sweet carbon Zaskar frame. Itching to build it up. I need to install the headset.

I have the 2 greases below. Are either suitable for use with carbon?

According to the product Q+A's on Chain Reaction, The Park grease is fine for carbon frames.

Excellent. Thanks.

Either will be fine. The issue with grease in carbon isn't any potential effect on structural integrity, it's the potential for slippage when you don't want it - seatposts, handlebars etc. Not a concern for headsets.

Cool. The Park website also says it is carbon safe.

Work LBS sorted me with a bit of carbon paste for the seat post. All good there too. I've never had carbon bars slip but I've never considered lining them either.

I don't use any grease for headsets and press fit bbs on carbon frames. Never had any issues
