  2. 1 bolt is more likely to not secure your seatpost as well as a 2 or 3
    bolt clamp, but it will still work ok.

    It really depends on the make though, some brands are better than
    others and will hold better, so as long as it fits properly, your good
    to go.

    I feel dumber having read this post. It's a lot of reading to find out
    Jerrick doesn't have a real answer to the question.

    Simple answer: look at the bolt. If you have a clamp with 'one big
    beefy bolt' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=563), it
    should hold just as well as something with 'two smaller bolts'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=928).

    I don't see how a clamp would mess up your frame or seatpost, though...
    don't worry about it. The worst thing that could happen is your seat
    will get bumped out of alignment if you drop your uni... just bump it
    back in place and keep riding until you get your new clamp!
