This.To me it's just adhesion; micro suction. The shinier, the grippier.
The oils from hand and the constant locomotion will polish the carbon shaft. I've mentioned this before and seen it firsthand from long term carbon users. I like to equate it to the keys on your keyboard where the home key is shiny and polished. This will cause friction.
Sadly, people haven't reached these levels to talk about it.
