My previous bike was carbon frame but with alloy seatpost, so the LCR018 is my first bike with a carbon seatpost. In the past I've clamped around the seatpost when mounting on a bike stand. Is it still ok to do this with a carbon seatpost?
A seatpost is cheaper than a frame.
I have been using a stand with a very lose clamp on the upper tube for years, the problem is people crushing the tube.
Same goes for seatpost tube. The clamp should form an oversized tube, and the top to the seatpost/saddle should stop it from sliding further down.
That said, I have 2 split hooks I can use in my carport to hang it up. Local bike mechanic uses same system.
