That would narrow down my options a bit then. I don't think I trust myself doing this for the first time on an expensive bike, much less my own. On one of the clamps you mentioned previously, 1) where does it attach, and 2) are they prone to shaking loose with riding? Seems to me like it is a sketchy deal. Also, how much do they run?
