He says the front mech rubs under load, a common cause of rubbing things is flex, and a cause of excessive flex is frame failure. Might as well eliminate the major problems before getting down to fine tuning. It could just be that there's a bit of play in the bottom bracket, or the front high limit needs backing off a bit, or other things. But no amount of adjustment in the stand is going to achieve anything if the problem isn't adjustment.
