Clickstand
bobs:
I recently had a clickstand for sale . This was because I bought a new Nomad frame and the clickstand was too small. As it did not selling contacted Tom at clickstand to as if an additional section could be fitted to make it fit.
Tom was away on holiday but asked me to send the new measurements and he would deal with it when he returned.
I have just returned from a cycling tour of the Drau river in Austria to find Tom had sent all the parts to make my clickstand fit my new frame, FOC.
What fantastic service from a one man outfit. I would recommend his products to anyone.

Tom Nostrant is one of the nicest people in all of cycling.
Period.
Best,

Great product.
I bought it for my Surly LHT but it works for both my Thorn Mercury and the Twin Raven Tandem.
The only thing to watch out for is to stop the front wheel rotating and stop the handle bars from turning.

The only "but" I've had with my Clickstand, Mike, is that the little elastic tabs used to lock the brakes don't do so very well. The best device I've found for doing that in the Bike Brake band: http://www.bikebrake.com/. Another device, with a lot of other uses besides, is the 4" Quick-release rubber tie: http://www.leevalley.com/en/garden/page.aspx?p=65393&cat=2,43319,33283

I just use a bit of nylon webbing with a fastex connector to tie the front wheel to the downtube. Makes the whole setup very stable. I keep that strap in one of the mesh pockets on the side of my handlebar bag.
