I've been clamping onto the seat tubes of bikes for a number of years with no bad effects. On my Park consumer stand, I used to put an old cotton sock over each jaw, but now I've glued some soft leather to each of the clamping surfaces. It works well. I also bought an inexpensive seat post to use for clamping on my Riv (seatpost mounted is an old Aero type and cannot clamp), but it's usually more of a PIA to install the clamping post first. YMMV, of course. Steve
