prob_01
Common root cause: Overloading or excessive clamping force on thin/delicate frames.
Step-by-step solution: Check if the bicycle's weight is within the specified limit. Slightly loosen the clamp if it's overtightening the frame. If the bending is severe and persistent, it may indicate a structural failure.
💡 Pro tip: Always respect the bicycle's weight limit and avoid overtightening the clamp, especially on carbon frames.
