Abstract
An adapter includes a first arm and a second arm that is pivotably connected to the first arm. A first portion of the first and second arms cooperate to form a contour which generally matches a contour of a portion of a bicycle frame. A second portion of the first and second arms are constructed to engage one another such that, during a clamping process, the adapter engages the bicycle frame with a desired gripping pressure. Preferably, the gripping pressure is less than a pressure that would crush or otherwise deform the frame of the bicycle.
