What size clamp front derailleur?
“Clamp-On” front derailleurs come with a clamp of a specific diameter, which are meant to fit around different kinds of bicycle frames. Most frames will be either 28.6mm, 31.8mm or 34.9mm in diameter, but certain bikes made before the 1980s will have a slightly smaller tube diameter.

I just went through the same routine myself and learned that only Dura Ace front derailleurs can have the clamps changed. Ultegra, 105, etc have the clamp integrated into the unit. A true band or clamp thpe cannot be changed.
What is the difference between braze-on and clamp-on derailleur?
A clamp-on has a metal clamp that wraps around the tube of a frame that does not have a built-in mounting tab for the front derailleur. Braze-on derailleurs can be mounted to frames that do not have a mounting tab, using an adapter.
How do I know what size my FD clamp is?
Simplest way is to wrap a bit of paper round the tube and mark where it meets. Open the paper out and use a ruler / tape measure to measure the distance between your marks – that’s the circumference of the tube. Divide by Pi (3.14159) to get the diameter.
