KickStand

[damocool]

I want a kickstand for my Specialized Crosstrail but can't find a nice black one to compliment my bike, Specialized do one but it's only on the US site

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks

I just carry a brick in my pannier so that I can put it down and rest the pedal on it when I stop.

Wimp, I keep the brick in my jersey pocket.

not cheap, but easy to use and much much lighter (around 75g instead of the best part of a kilo, (if the rumours I have heard about kickstands are true)) - and I can confirm that they hold the weight of a fully laden touring bike. http://www.click-stand.com/ and they come in a range of colours...

Ooh, doesn't it chafe?

To be fair to @Cyclopathic if you carry a brick in your jersey pocket in Leicester you are likely to get arrested for "going equipped", much safer to carry it in your pannier.

Quite true. Only in Leicester could a brick be considered equipment.

Why didn't I think of that? ...... Time to ditch the breeze block.

If you've got a brick in Beaumont Leys you're practically a home owner.
