Are seat post (beam) racks really terrible?

There are ones out there that mount to the seatpost collar and skewers. Problem Solvers also makes a binder with rack eyelets.

The Tubus clips are universal and will work with any rack. I've used them for the upper and lower attachment on mountain bikes and road bikes with Delta racks, Sunlite racks and Tubus racks. They work for all of them very well.

There are others,that was just the first one that came to mind.

I used a Topeak beam rack with a carbon seatpost for about 3 years. It worked well for me. Never swayed and I didn't break the seatpost. I only replaced it because the Topeak bag eventually died (broken zippers and a hole on one side). So, a beam rack and CF seatpost can be done.
