What record weight for Rega RP10

I have the RP10 and not sure whether the bearing on this table is even designed to work with or can accept the load of a record weight. I have a the ClearAudio clamp but can hear no discernible advantage with it, plus I am concerned about applying pressure to the bearing when using it. There so many record weights available and I am just a little cautious as I have called The Sound Organization but haven’t been able to reach anyone willing to provide an answer.

So has anyone with a Rega table found a record clamp that works well with your table? 
 

Thank you in advance

I wouldn't use a record weight on an RP10

These lightweight rubber pieces hold reels on tape decks. They fit a TT spindle. Seller says new. Note: the inside hole is 1/2" deep, is your spindle less than that when LP is on?

IF you have a long spindle, these will work

Elliotnewcombjr. Thank you for your suggestion, my spindle isn’t 1/2” without a record so the reel holder would not present an issue. Is this something that you are using and what table do you have?

Stringreen. I am curious as to your response. Can you explain why you wouldn’t recommend using a weight at all on the RP10? Is there something in the design or the type of bearing that brings you to this conclusion? Thank you for your response.
