Ritchey Liquid Torque Sachet 08 - £1.50

Ritchey Liquid Torque creates extra friction between two surfaces, allowing tightening torque to be reduced by up to 30%. This is especially useful in clamping areas, such as between a handlebar and stem, or fork steerer tube and stem – two areas where too much clamping torque can damage componentry, causing component failure or a voided warranty. Carbon fiber components are particularly sensitive to the damage that can be caused by too much clamping force. In addition to reducing clamping force, Ritchey Liquid Torque also relieves stress on sensitive carbon surfaces, prevents damage to the fibers and eliminates cracking. It also provides maximum protection against corrosion and retains its effectiveness in wet conditions.

Ritchey Liquid Torque can be used for all carbon, aluminum and steel connections, including:

• Seatpost/frame interface area and seatpost bolt threads

• Stem/handlebar interface area and stem bolts

• Crank bolts

• Screw threads in any area where reliable locking force is required, but should be easy to release/loosen even after prolonged use
