Bicycle Repair / Work Stands
The clamping jaws of a bike stand can generate a
crushing force strong enough to seriously damage
your frame. See next figure.
CAUTION
Never place your bike in a bike stand by
clamping the frame.
Place your bike in a stand by extending the seat
post and positioning the stand clamp on the
extended seat post. Don’t extend beyond the
MINIMUM INSERT line marked on the seat post.
Since your carbon seat post can also be
damaged by clamping force, adjust the stand
clamp for the minimum clamping force needed
to secure the bike.
Also, before clamping, clean the post and
protect the seat post finish with a rag.
