Aside from the convenience of a "kick" stand, I am beginning to like kick stands less and less. I no longer trust them (especially on a loaded bike) to do their job without causing undue stress on a frame. For me, it's lean it or lay it down.
I thought the "Flickstand" was a novel idea, and helped to keep a bike from rolling AND made it easier to lean a bike. I still hold out hope that there's a slightly sturdier version somewhere out there, but I always thought it was a brilliant concept. And the basic premise for another alternative, the "Clickstand" tent-pole design makes sense for heavier loads less the convenience factor of a kickstand. I'm convinced there's a better mousetrap out there folks... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
