I have used on seat posts and frame tubes without any issues

yes it can clamp the seatpost or top tube of the frame no problem

You can adjust it for either, it's not the most sturdy clamp so works better when on the frame though

The clamp can be rotated 360 degrees so it can clamp on either the post or the frame...

If you are still interested, it will grip either.

The clamp fits the seatpost and is rotational so the bike can be positioned at any angle

It fits both on all my bikes, and friends' who have borrowed it. May have trouble with modified profile aerodynamic forms though.

Either.

It will grip either.
It has quite a range of adjustment on the jaw and it copes well with my bikes from the skinny seatpost on the roadie through to clamping the stranglely shaped frame on my Enduro.

You can rotate the clamp so it could certainly be oriented to attach to any part of the bike. The size range of the clamp is also fairly large so I reckon it would attach to the seat post as well as the frame.

Sorry, don't know the dimensions of your Madone top tube but having just bought the workstand would expect that it would fit just about any bike. It is very adjustable and the clamp will open very wide and clamp as tight as you want. The clamp can be rotated to accomodate a top tube or seat tube or seat post.

It appears designed for a rounded tube but I have worked on the ovalised top tube of my wife's bike without issue.

id never clamp a bike by its frame, always try and use the seat post. This will clamp most bikes by their seat post.

Yes, although the clamp is essentially 2 v's coming together there is some padding and its highly adjustable so you can control the pressure to prevent any damage.

Yes, it should be fine it has a dual clamping area on both sides so is able to accommodate different shapes of tubing.

I am sure it will - clamp is adjustable so should fit any tube shape and size

Yes.

I have a Madone 5.2 and I loosely tighten the clamp then turn the handle a couple of turns to hold bike in place.

Seems to hold very firmly but not under any stress.

I cant say for certain. Though my Orbea top tube is angular. I dont overclamp but it does fit.

yes, just dont clamp it too hard

These are designed for seat tubes and I would not recommend clamping a carbon frame.

48 inches high

107cm x 23cm with the neck dropped and base folded in

110cm H
21cm W

Approximately 70cm by 20cm by 15 cm

110cm x 20cm x 30cm at one end and about half that at the other.

1 metre high and a base of about 20cm across.

Yes,it is.Nevertheless i used it with my full carbon TT bike many times,my bike had no damage.

I believe carbon frames can be easily damaged by clamping and cannondale i have been told will not accept claims on frames if damaged by clamping. I may be wrong though but it makes sense to me as most frames will be strong in certain directions, so clamp on seat post if its not part of frame. If its a carbon post then i guess be careful.

The vice gripper rotates 360 degrees so it can be used to grip (horizontally) the top-tube for non-carbon fibre frames and vertically for gripping a carbon frame bike via the seat stem,

The force of the vice gripper can be ajusted and isn't just a flat plate but almost like hands with rubber inserts so it grips and holds using friction as well as clamping force so the clamp doesn't have to be really tight.

Short answer: yes

Yes, but you just need to be careful to not use too much tension when you use the clamp. You can adjust the tension as necessary.

I use it and it is fine - just make sure the clamp is not over-tight on the frame or seat post

see photo, not sure about carbon; most advise against

I just grab it by the seat post.

id always try and clamp a bike by seat post, this will clamp most bikes via their seatpost alone.

I thing it won't be a problem, if the tube is not wider then 3.5cm , max 4cm

I have a Trek 4.5 which has a squared of top tube and the stand holds it securely. The clamp has rubber innards (is that a word??) which mould round the frame. Great product would highly recommend.

Yes it will. My MTB also has a square shaped top tube and it works fine.

I don't see why a carbon frame would be a problem. The clamp uses the same quick release lever mechanism you see on wheels and seat post clamps. The tension is adjustable in the same way, you tighten the clamp a little then try to lock down the lever. If it's too hard to lock down the level, loosen it up a bit and try again.

This stand shouldn't have any problem holding kids bikes.

I use the stand for my carbon trek & it works a treat. I haven't need to clamp via my seat post.

Ultimately, you're not putting a lot of weight on the frame so it's not anywhere near the trauma of a normal ride.

Buy a cheap seatpost the same size as your current one and put that in and use the clamp on that. That's what my local bike shop do so thats what I did. Seatpost cost £8

this workstand is quite solid n the clamp is metal as wall, so u can hang on it is u want :)

I use it on my carbon ace bike and it's fine. I hung my wife's heavy steel bike on it and it collapsed. This seems to be due to the fact that it is tightened rather than locked. I'm pretty sure it would collapse every time I hung my wife's bike on it.

I don't see why you can't use this stand for a folder. The tube clamp can be rotated to any angle and can be adjusted to hold just about any size tubing! My partner and I each have an alloy commuter, carbon road and hefty MTB, and the stand is great for all of them. she's only 5'5" and I'm 6'5" so all sizes of bikes!

Hope that helps.

Yes - this stand holds my Dahon folding bike fine - as it can be set at a suitable angle to hold the bike by either a classic top-tube, or by grabbing the seat tube - that's how I hold my Dahon in this.

No, I put a much lighter bike on this and it snapped the plastic locking mechanism.

Should do. Makes sure it is on a good surface though,paving etc so it doesn't move

I am in WA and it was delivered to me :)

Got mine sent to Freo came in a week.
