Home Repair stand suggestion?
Currently using the Feedback Sprint, which I have loved but the clamp does not hold the post on my SL7 Tarmac correctly. I have to fold the arm of my stand in to get it to grip my seatpost properly, and that bring the bike too close to the center post of the stand. Looking for recommendations for a new home repair stand. thx

My Parktool works fine for me. I can't say anything about your bike-specific issues, though.
Parktool has a ton of different models

Doesn't the Feedback Sports Sprint hold the bike by the dropouts? If you're trying to clamp the seatpost you might be doing it wrong.

Optically Corrected
FeedBack Sports has replacement parts for all of their stands.
I dealt with them directly when I needed a replacement clamp part.
Covid has probably messed up their inventory levels but I’d figure out the part number(s) I needed,
and give them a call before buying a whole new stand!

If the issue is the clamp can’t grip the seat post because it is “aero” , a frame clamp would work:

The Park Team Issue is the one that I use.
Folds up nicely (if traveling) and is heavy and stout. As it uses the dropouts/axles there are never any issues with carbon frames or seatposts.

My Park Tool stand has served me well for close to 40 years and it will outlast me (76 and counting).

My model clamps at the seatpost. I just keep an old towel in the clamps to keep from accidentally applying too much force to the frame.

Pretty hard to go past one of these:
I've got one with a fitting on the back that just has four bolt holes, which is probably the cheapest way to get a top-notch clamp, and you can just bodge up whatever stand. I've got mine booked to a bit of box section I chuck in the bench vise.
