Look Ma, No Hands!
Not to hijack this thread, but curious how you rate this particular stand? I have a touring bike with Tange 2 tubing and don't currently use a stand, but if this could handle some weight it might be a good addition. In general, I don't use kickstands on any of my bikes, all use butted thin tubing so that's not a good option.On my '74 International, with oval and uncrimped 531 chainstays, Raleigh intentionally placed the chainstay bridge so there was no room to install a kickstand.
If you want a kickstand, a good aftermarket is Upstand, which clips to your seat tube, and fits a magnet boss beneath your rear wheel Q/R
(note you can buy it cheaper from Amazon than Upstand website and RockBros make their less-expensive copy)
