The clamping jaws of a bike stand can generate a
crushing force strong enough to seriously damage
your frame.
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,
protect the seat post finish with a rag.

CaUtion
Use care to be sure that both fork dropouts are
engaged in the rack before clamping. If only
one dropout is engaged and the bike tips over,
the leverage can exert great force that may
damage the dropout. If your bike tips over, have
the dropouts examined by a retailer.
