Reinforcing braze on mount on carbon frame

mistertommyt

I'm having FD issues on my carbon frame. Basically, it seems that there is some flex where the braze on mount for the FD is bolted to the frame. It seems to be a known issue on some carbon frames and one that is countered by certain manufacturers by reinforcing the carbon at this point.

So, I'm looking for a solution. VMaybe a carbon specialist who may be able to reinforce this area for me. Can anyone recommend someone to speak to? Or does anyone have any experience with this?

No but a few on BR have, with good results apparently. There's also a place in Stokesley, N. Yorks who may be able to help and advise. They specialise in motorbike stuff but do offer some services to human beings too

No experience of them, I just know they're around.
