>Been mountin biking for 35 years, I have a kickstand on my bike. What argument against them is there? Respectfully, I have to ask what you consider mountain biking? I'm not trying to be mean but I have a suspicion that you're not doing real mountain biking and maybe just riding on gravel roads or tame dirt paths. Do me a favor and look up the Whole Enchilada in Moab, UT and let me know if that's even close to what you're doing while mountain biking. I think it'll make more sense. They're extra weight that can get caught on things and break your frame or you. I've never seen a serious mountain biker riding with a kickstand.
