Is the reason the stand wont work is because the stand hits the back tire before the stand can reach the spools.
If so here is what I did, I took a couple 2x12 boards approx 18" long, screwed them together ontop of each other to make a block of wood 18" long 12" wide and the thickness of two 2x12s screwed together. Then angle one side to make a ramp. You can roll the back of the bike onto the boards lifting the back of the bike allowing the stand to reach the spools before it hits the tire.
If thats not the reason it wont work I guess I just typed all this for nothing.
