Hi, does anyone have any experience with the carbonice front derailleur clamp? I want to use it with a Dura Ace 9000 FD. I have read about the Parlee clamp, some good some bad, but I can't find anything on the Carbonice ones? I want to use it with a chain catcher too and unlike the Parlee clamps the Carbonice looks like the bolt mount is flat so the catcher should work without shimming. I'm also very interested to find out if there is a noticeable loss in stiffness with these carbon adapters vs the stock standard shimano clamps.

Thanks!

No idea about Carbonice, but my Mcfk carbon front mech band has worked perfectly with a Di2 front mech for 3yrs now.

Thanks, did you need to do anything special on install like carbon paste etc? Or was it simple tighten up and away you go?

Used it with and without paste. Made no difference - it's solid as a rock either way.
