I'm on board with the cf clamps. I weight between 80 an 85 kilo and would trust the cf ones better then alloy ones.

What Frankie said.
I've been on the BTP carbon clamps on several bikesfor a few years. One case in point, 85kg on a cross bike that I just had a look at and they're perfect.
Way these things work they are in tension when mounted, so cf is actually the perfect material.

I used Ti t-bolt and Alu. nut with existing setup. Total weight is heavier than BTP but equal
to Shimano even though steel band was there. A lot cheaper though.

You're better off getting the Ti versions.

Are the bolt and nut made of titanium too or just the band?

the t-nut with the titanium band is about is more or less 1 gram lighter than the ones that come with the steel band. I upgraded my ultegra di2.

titanium band=6.7g t-nut=2g
steel band=9.5g t-nut=3.4

Saved 4.2 grams per shifter.

The new ones look more heavily machined than the 7900 series ones.
