Never have used one before, and so far I've taken two lengthy tours.
But here's the issue; this is the bike on which I will probably tour next time, a worked over '95 Specialized HardRock, steel frame, 26" wheels.
This is also my daily commute bike that I park outside the gym in the dark many mornings. If I had a kickstand I could park it in the lobby entrance, easier and much less chance of vandalism. They would let me lean it against a wall, but I'm pretty sure that I'd eventually scuff or get road grime on the wall, I expect similar situations could also arise on tour.
Is there a particular kickstand that anyone would recommend?
Thanks,
Mike
