So I've got a fork with carbon steerer, I'm torquing the stem bolts (Deda Zero1) to correct torque (6Nm), but after a while a bit of play begins to develop in the headset. Is it slipping? Do I need carbon assembly paste? If I loosen everything off and start afresh it's ok for a while so I don't think it's a headset issue.

Sound like the headsets is settling in, start again and set it up.

Make sure to check there's enough gap between the spacers and top cap.

6Nm sound about right to me, you can always go a little over it.

Done so twice now, there's def enough gap and it runs fine for a month or two. I'll try it again. Is carbon paste generally only for carbon on carbon then? Wouldn't be any benefit here?
