Can this stand safely hold a carbon frame?

Yes i use this as everyday bike stand not just for tweaking and repairs! Go for it I hear feedback stand is a little cheaper :)

I have an older model of work stand, and my bikes are all steel or aluminum, but I ONLY clamp on the seatpost. Park even sells an attachment to fit various seat tube diameters and then clamp into a work stand. There must be a good reason for that. Others have mentioned it, but if you have a fancy post, buy a cheap one of the same size, just for this purpose.

The stand holds the bike by the seat post, so the frame material is not relevant. If you have a carbon seat post you may want to use an aluminum post to work on the bike.

I believe this comes with one of the new clamps that are safe for carbon frames.

Yes, Don't crank it down too tight after attaching the bike. Better still attach to the bike post.

It seems that if you put the back wheel in the stand, it should support the weight assuming it is not an off axis load.

I have used this stand on a Cannondale 700 c Adventure bike and on a Marin 700 cc. Both are different shaped frames and it worked on both. It is adjustable.

Yes, but it would need to be Checked. I've built a 4 sided frame with a removable top for my unit. It keeps the elements at bay. the unit is rather thin shelled, but alright for the price.

I don't think so. At least not easily. It is designed to be used with a frame, I think. That's how we are using ours.

I have used this repair stand to hold a Specialized road bike and a much-heavier Cannondale hybrid (Silk Path 700) and the base was quite sufficient to balance each of them. I consider it very sturdy.

No problem--I have had my Madone on it many times. You can secure the bike with the rubber straps w/o any intense pressure points on the frame. It's only a $3500 bike, but the carbon should be similar.

It is not designed doing so. However, there are some small gaps between the material and the frame's corners that allows a little room for a hooks or bolts that could potentially hold it. With a little ingenuity, it could be done, but, again, it is not really designed for this.

I don't see why not, you would just be using the frame as a level platform.

It will bolt up but this stand might be too short. Greenfield also makes one in 305mm for taller bikes.

It should support the extra weight with no problem.It is a very sturdy stand.

I think the answer is yes. I am not at my house where the stand is so I can't honestly test this but I believe positioning the locking top clamp anywhere on the top tube will hold it. I will be back at home tomorrow if you want me to test this. Let me know.

I am able to do it with my son's bike. It has 12" tires and is a small bike. I am not able to use my larger road bikes on this stand so that may impact if this stand is right for you.

The stand is great but will only hold the bike upright with the back wheel resting on the frame...It doesn't raise the back wheel nor is it strong enough.

It should be fine. I have two speakers that are about the same size and weight. Careful lifting the speakers up to the stand as one side will be very heavy until the other one balances out. The frame itself is very sturdy and will hold the weight just fine. Just getting them both on is a bit tricky at first.

I would have to say no. It will probably rip the tie down that holds it to the frame

I would guess that it would hold that...my first one arrived un-assembled, and one of the chains didn't have a clip, so I couldn't put it together...after my bad review I was sent another one, but have not used it as I had already come up with an alternative that I preferred by the time it got here...it also seemed like it had come straight from China, which made me a little weary, but I tend to be a bit paranoid with stuff like that :P :)
