Are you referring to one of these or similiar?

Could you use a chain scrubber with this setup for example?

Get something you can ride on so you can use it as a wind trainer as well as your tune up tool. Something like this

Yes and yes. Chain scrubbers can be used whenever the rear wheel is off the ground.

Personally I would buy one of these before the repair stand you linked before as this is more than adequate for most bike jobs.

Thanks for excellent advice as always. I will look into the wind trainer/rear wheel stand idea some more.
