There are some other alternatives:

Ultimate Support's Flop Stop handlebar holder attaches to the seatpost and handlebars with a rubber strap; it's telescoping to fit larger frames.

Velo Orange has a wheel stabilizer - a sort of adjustable spring which attaches the downtube to the brake hole on the fork.
