Got a $28 retail centerstand on my Trek DS 8.6 that is already heavy.
Like it, bike stores tight to the wall, makes tire inspection, chain clean & lube easy but is not uber stable for loading the bike with grocery shopping, just gotta use care.
I do not hear the centerstand bounce when hitting bumps like the sideststand(clamps to seat/chain stays type) that is on my Specialized HT. But the sidestand is more stable loading the rack up w/50# of shopping. (car free here)
