The backing plate is for brazeon type installations, and may or may not be required depending on the specific frame and how stiff its brazeon is or isn't, and whether if used the support screw can butt against the brazeon plate itself. I'm assuming you're using the Shimano 9000 band type front derailleur and not a third party brazeon clamp with a shimano brazeon front derailleur.

My bad. Sorry about that guys. Haven't played with the band mount DA9000 FD only braze on.
That's right...OP's bike is a '08 Madone. Sorry for the derailment...pun...ducks. :beerchug:

I actually don't think the band adapters are the same. The band on the 9000 band type front derailleur is actually part of the derailleur itself. Not to be confused with a brazeon "adapter" which just clamps around the tube and supplies a brazeon tab for the brazeon type derailleur to attach to.

According to the manual they have the same part numbers for band adapters for di2 and mechanical.

@Calnago thanks for the tips, I'll continue to work through this until I get it nailed.
