DieselDan, it's not the clamp itself, it's the adjustment that keeps the clamp stationary and not rotating towards the front of the bike (which sticks out more so is heavier). You rotate the clamp til it's at an angle where the bike is horizontal, then tighten that knob, but the knob is hard to really tighten (even when it was new).
Dude, it's 8 years old! $10 sounds like a deal to me.
Ya mon, it's only $10, I'll take paypal or cash, thank you!
