As it looks like it's a BMX mounting sprocket I'd just head over to AlansBMX.com sort by price and pick the best looking one in your budget.

Not a great habit to get into, but really not as much of an issue as people make it out to be. I often clamp TT or ST depending on need. Have seen plenty of WC bikes clamped at both as well.

I grew up using a hitch rack that mounted three bikes by the top tube in a very similar fashion. Granted, they were generally old steel and aluminum bikes... never put carbon in there. But wouldn't the same principle apply to those bike racks?

To a degree, but you absolutely can damage a frame from mounting in TT. The biggest issues come when you're working with a portion of the bike that needs a lot of force, such as say tightening up the crankset. That much leverage isn't really meant to go there.

If it's just in the stand for a photo, or to take off the wheels or whatnot, it's almost certainly alright as long as he does A.O.G. the clamp head.

I'm sorry I'm just being a troll and laughing at the fact that we just went over this. I had no idea either and have certainly clamped my share of top tubes. Now, I would def agree it's not a good habit.

Ahh. That makes sense. I would've said the same about that bike rack I used
