I have a genuine SRAM front mech braze-on adaptor but, when I change it (to a Force 22 Yaw one), I'd like to switch the adaptor to a nicer, lighter and prettier adaptor (in carbon if possible)

I'd read that aftermarket ones tend to have some flex in them meaning that shifting is compromised.

Does anyone know of a (preferably carbon) braze-on adaptor (in 34.9) that doesn't flex (or negatively affect SRAM shifting)?

Cheers 8)

Ta... not sure I can justify spending twice as much on a clamp as I would on a mech though..

You better spend it. It is not only the best looking clamp in the world, it is also the most brilliant braze on adapters there is. the clamping system makes it wrap around the ST completely. This really makes it work. I had one on my Ritchey road logic, brilliant piece of carbon. My dad now rides on that Logic and still uses the clamp with a Force Yaw der.

I'll stick with the SRAM one until I've done some cash stashing for the Parlee one 8)

I used KCNC clamps with my SRAM FDs. I could not justify the Parlee clamp although the design is superb.
