Apparenly this isn't a problem either. The dropout clamp looks to be
designed to accept the chain so that it doesn't dangle, see he

By god, you're right.

You're right, it is more complicated then a standard clamp style stand,
but given my odd ball collection of bikes I sort of inherited the need.

Sure, when you need somethign like this, you probably need it badly.

re-check the park web site - it mounts from bb to front OR rear drops.
if you want to work on the fork, remove the rear wheel, mount to the
rear, and you're free to fiddle with the front end all you want.

But then you get a droopy, possibly filthy chain dangling all over the
place. I mean, okay, it can be done, fair enough. But for most frames, I'd
call it needlessly complicated. If I can only touch a bike at known hard
points, I'm not sure I want to actually, like, mount it, where my leg
might accidentally touch the top tube, oh noes.

so how many psi's can you exert with your soft fleshy thigh vs. a clamp?
that's what it comes down to jasper - force per unit area. hard
points can take high high psi, the others can't!

The question isn't so much how much I can excercise with the clamp as how
much I do -- with my stand, a cheap Rose Versand one, I can basically hang
the (top tube of) bike in the clamp and not tighten it at all, and it will
stay reasonably in place as long as I don't make too major weight shifts.

Also, sacrificial metal seatposts.
