Gorilla clips (again...)

I'm looking for some advice on using these on my Tripsters' carbon forks as my frame is diminutive and I'm looking for extra carrying space. I've looked at other threads and from what I can see as long as the intended cargo is light , they should be secure and not compromise the carbon in any way? ( I'm used to steel so I'm nervous..)

The paint job on the Kinesis is fragile so I'm guessing appropriate heli taping before adding the clips is wise.

Does anyone out there have any recommendations at all please?

Thanks in advance!

They'll work fine on carbon forks. If anything was going to cause damage to the fork it would likely be the cable ties that attach the clips to the fork. However, the ties are run in a rubber U channel to prevent them rubbing but as you say, some tape beneath won't do any harm.
