It is worth the effort to remove a seat post and replace with an Aluminum one for use in the work stand You can also use the stoker post and just put a upside down bucket under the front wheel for stability. Don't clamp your carbon tandem any other way IMHO. I don't clamp our Calfee or any of our single carbon bikes by anything but seat posts. for a real simple adjustment just hook the front of the stoker seat over the stand to get the rear wheel off the ground. I went to the LBS and got a defective Alu seat post in the correct size for the tandem and they even just gave it to me for that purpose.
