I attach a trailer to my bike for trips with the kids, I need a kickstand to let me get off the bike and keep it upright when in the middle of the park with nothing to prop it up against
Needs to be easily removable as I don't really fancy keeping it on all the time, just when I attach the trailer
The trailer is attaches to the rear skewer with a little bracket, i don't mind leaving this on. Any suggestions?
Something like this would work but its a bit spendy and isn't in the UK - http://www.click-stand.com/Products___Ordering.html
Pletscher is the CK of stands.
That eBay job wouldn't work as there isn't enough space to fit it (Spesh Hardrock Sport Disc 29)
Will check pletscher out, cheers. Trying to see if thereis one that attaches to the chainstay only
Kickstand, I got a saddle made of leather
Kickstand, I got the words to come together
I got the urge to ride your trike
My mother says that's the only life
HTH
Obviously our friend Mr Cornell got so frustrated trying to fit a kickstand satisfactorily that he started looking at trikes.
Careful now...

Brother Will, thanks, that stand looks good
I'm going to look for something similar but perhaps slightly cheaper. I'm also going to see if I can find a fishing rod rest that might work for the same purposes as it'll probably be cheap, not sure how small it will fold though...
Just get a double legged stand and use it for a few years. Have one on the tandem and it would hold up the stoker without any trouble. Also useful for maintenance.
