How do people clamp their bikes when working on them? My old P7 is simple, clamp it at the seat tube and can rotate it 360 degrees. Whyte is a PITA though, there isn't a straight tube on it, clamping the dropper seems a bad idea, so it usually ends up upside down on the floor. Not v. helpful if I'm dropped the forks out
Clamp the dropper. It can stand your weight on it, bouncing up and down and landing on it. Just make sure the clamp is clean and maybe put a soft cloth in it.
Also helps if you let the front wheel hang down as there is less twisting pressure.
+1 for lightly clamping the dropper, when extended, with a cloth in the jaws
It's more the pulling up on a dropper rather than the weight, thought that was a bad idea, especially with Reverbs? Results in squish?
I'm sure it's fine, but I'm also a bit picky about clamping on my dropper. I just open the seat clamp and slide it out of the frame, and clamp on the main body of it.
Do as bike shops are doing... Pull out your dropper and have non-dropper inserted for maintenance purpose only.
Simple as that 🙂

Always clamp the main part of the dropper post (just extend it out of the frame 20mm so the clamp fits) but not the shaft

If you want to believe that, I'll not disappoint you. 😊
