Had a good fight with my Sram FD last night. The mounting bolt broke right before my last crit. I chased the threads, new bolt, etc. It's weird, I have to have it mounted as high as possible on the braze on mount or the cage will drag on the big chainring teeth. If it slides .5mm it hits. It's like the mount on my Ridley is too low... I have to really tighten it or it slips and starts hitting after ~100 miles, but that re-tightening process is killing the bolt threads. Even tried steel bolts. Frankly, it's pissing me off.
