Padding Your Starting Clamp, UK Style

When using a starter clamp, often we put either a loose piece of leather pad or synthetic grip between the clamp and the frame to prevent marking the frame. Unfortunately, this small piece of padding is easily lost in a busy tool tray.

I solved this by attaching the padding to the clamp.

If you have a smooth piece of leather, you can use double-sided sticky tape to help hold it in place. Scraps of synthetic grip usually have this sticky tape on them already. I then pin the padding to the clamp using a 2.6 mm diameter replacement badminton grommet, and finish off by wrapping a rubber band around the body of the clamp.
