I saw the photo and now realize that it is a bracket that can not be used to
convert any/all braze on set ups for 52 chainrings to compact. It's just
for Trek or maybe other carbon fiber bikes.
I wonder if Problem Solvers will figure out a thingy.
For now I would use the Mavic FD with an extra hole if I run into that
problem again.
I'm more likely to have a problem fitting a ring bigger than 46 for use with
the braze-on on my randonneur frame made to my specs.
I wish I had listened to Sheldon.
I'm in purgatory.
