Carbon Fiber / Topeak beam rack
Ok, so I have this Topeak MTX beam rack (20lbs max) which I would like to be able to use when I pick up the mail or have other light things to carry, but the instructions with the rack caution against using with a carbon fiber seat post. What is the risk here, will the clamp damage or crush the seat post?
