The new Sampson FD clamp is another one of those small items that simply works a lot better! The Sampson FD clamps provides a much wider clamp area (23 mm) than you get with the standard Shimano /Sram/Campy style which are around 16 mm . At around 23 g. they are also a bit lighter, but the key is the larger area gives a better pressure distribution on carbon and light alloy seat tubes like Airplane. Just $12. |
