Bob,
I use the seat grabber myself. Works well and is convenient. Not quite as solid
as the seat tube but still a good addition to the tool kit.
Best,
Richard

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

As with Patrick Moore, the seatpost thing "sounds" great until it doesn't in a
host of circumstances. I have mostly always attached clamps on TT's, whether it
be a Park shop or consumer stand, or what I have now is also the Feedback stand
in which over tightening isn't gonna happen. The frames I
The problem with the seatpost only rule is that sometimes there's not
enough seatpost showing; as when you have a saddlebag attached, or a SQR
clamp, or a tail light mounted there. At least with Rivendell frames, I
doubt there is likelihood of damage by clamping seat tube or top tube,
unless you ar
Seatpost, always. Use a sharpie to make a discrete dot on the rear of the
post, just above the lug/clamp, to make repositioning easier. Or raise the
post a couple mm and make the dot there, so you -just- hide it on
reinsertion.
It may never happen to you, but the world is full of nice bicycles wit

I agree with Patrick the Deacon about the floor. I use a stand for installing
cables, shifters and whatnot, but big torque jobs like bottom brackets and
pedals get the floor. I have no interesting in cranking that hard on a frame or
seatpost in an itty-bitty clamp.

Seat post. Every single time.
My mechanical guru, Mark Abele (of RBW) does it that way. And that's all I
need to know.

Seat tube all the way. Been doing that for 40 years. Finally replaced the
rock-hard plasti-dip jaw covers on the Park stand I've had all that time
with replacement rubber grips, but have never had an issue either way.
Granted I've only ever had steel frame bikes, YMMV with anything exotic. I

I use the Minoura SCA-100 Seatpost Grabber, purchased from Rivendell:
