bottle cage on a carbon fibre frame

[Ghost Donkey]

Probably a silly question but would like to check with the collective brains on here before damaging something expensive . I have a carbon fibre framed TT bike and have bought a plastic aero bottle with cage for it. Should I use grease for the screw threads like with an aluminium frame and if so a specialist carbon fibre grease similar to what is used on seatposts?

Thanks.

the cage fittings themselves will not be carbon fibre - they will be aluminium inserts (rivnuts), so you don't really need to use anything in principle, although a drop of light oil on each thread would do.

Also, you don't want to be confusing carbon assembly compound with grease - the two are designed for very different purposes..

That's great, thanks ::-):
