Thanks, Zack! Head brushes do me in for a few days, so one that leaves a
scar would do who knows what!

I clamp on the second top tube, right on the paint, and STILL i had someone
say to me that my bike looks way cleaner than Chris Chen's even though I
have had it for over three years. Crushing blow.
My one tip: Mind the silver bar end shifters once you get the bike up on
the stand. I have ma
I don't have a lot of seatpost showing, so I was clamping on the toptube
sometimes, but that doesn't work if adjusting the rear brake cable, so, I'd
sometimes clamp on the seat tube. Wish I hadn't: the frame is fine, but,
the seattube decal is a little bit marred because of it.:/Lesso
I too have always attached the clamp to the frame for decades without any
ill effects . Just use some sense, like don't over clamp with force, and

I have a Performance-branded one that I bought secondhand. Appears to be
the same one the Riv is selling. One thing I would note is to periodically
check the bolts/nuts of the pivots for folding/unfolding. I managed to

Also, they can pivot and fall if not balance

paint.
I got mine with the seatpost grabber and that is really the only way I
ever use it. That gets things at a perfect height. It's a rock solid rack

I hear ya! I'm thinking I should have gotten it with the septets grabber.
That's now on the list.
