Handlebars slipping in carbon stem ?

[cyberknight]

Even with some anti slip paste , every time i catch a decent bump it rotates downwards .

Currently i have put a alloy stem back on .

Maybe they're not quite tight enough.
Did you use a torque wrench and tighten up to recommended setting?

Not sure if this will work if all else fails, but will it be possible to place a piece of thin rubber around the handlebar, something like a piece from one of those thin exercise bands i was thinking?

Have you done this, or is it just a fertile imagination at work?

Won't work and will make it worse.

Are all bolts tightened evenly?
You using some of that special carbon grease which is a bit gritty?

Yup in the past, it had non on when i removed it , maybe put some more on?
The carbon seatpost was creaking as well yesterday , i know its the post/seat rails as itdidnt creak when i stood up.
When i re carbon pasted the post i got a black sludge over my hand ?

The handlebars should be attached to the stem dry and the bolts tightened evenly, get them almost tight and tighten by doing top left then bottom right - top right then bottom left and tighten to the torque written on the stem

No, it was just an idea that popped up if tightening the stem etc failed to work, i was thinking it may offer a better grip being rubber.
