Looking for a work stand for bike with aero seat post
 

I have a Giant TCR Advanced 2 (2016), which has an aero seat post (Giant Variant, Composite) and a composite frame. Any advice on what stands will or definitely won't work?

I want to get the Feedback Sports Sport Mechanic Bicycle Repair Stand, but I cannot tell if it will be able to clamp to my bike. I see a picture of the elite version clamping an aero seat post (and from the looks of it it is much rounder than the Giants post), but I see nothing for the cheaper 'sport' version.

I really want to avoid a Euro style stand if possible, because it seems that requiring the from wheel to be removed would make it useless for many cases. I need to be able to true the wheels and adjust breaks.

I also have a mountain bike and cheap road bike, but neither of those are carbon and I'm not worried about those fitting the stand.

I use a Feedback ultralight stand.
Light but excellent stand. I have a cyclocross bike with a wide top tube and it works well! All the reviews about it are good also.

I use an older Feedback Sports stand with a similar clamp on my Defy Composite aero seat post. I use a piece of pipe wrap foam to buffer it a bit. You could also use a piece of pool noodle. That being said, I only use that stand for washing, light adjustments, etc. For anything more involved, I use a Feedback Sports Sprint stand.

Under the BB shell and by the dropouts , removing one wheel, works around wing shaped bikes.


Park, for example, sells a 'euro' stand that has a sliding dropout clamp for either wheel,
so you leave the wheel in, on the end, that you are working on.

My Park (PCS-10?) will grab an aero seat post. I use shop rags as a cushion.

The "Euro-style" stands require removing one wheel but it can be either front or rear, so you can adjust the brakes and true either wheel.
