apparently it couldn't take 5nm..
So I'm in need of a replacement.
Since I'm aiming for carbon spacers and topcap, can anyone recommend a carbon seatclamp?
I was looking at the PZ Racing one because I'm planning to get the PZ Racing headset spacers but one of the crc reviews says it snapped @ 7nm and don't want to re-replace it any time soon.
Is the PZ one generally durable? Or is there a better alternative?

Smud carbon may be worth a look

Does it matter that the frame is alloy? In regard to using a carbon clamp...
Just found the order for the Ti clamp.. it was a J&L one, thought they were decent.

Yeah, no joke. It was hard to for me to swallow when I bought it too. I got the derailleur clamp as well, so it was double hard. I wanted them to match, and just be reliable.
There's a bunch of similar styles on Ebay for about $20. Search item 110695949120.
I wouldn't think the alu frame made any difference. I too thought J&L was reliable brand.
Any carbon one will be pretty high in the $ to gram savings. Some aluminum ones I have experience of include Tune's Würger which is about 9g. I got a Carbon-ti x-clamp also 9g or maybe 10g as Specialized insist on 32.6mm clamping diameter.

Carbon TI X Clamp 3 looks like a winner tbh.. just gotta wait for pay day.
I know it's not carbon as per my original query but quality carbon is just a little out of my reach.
