New Pletscher Zoom Kickstand
This might be old news to some, but it took me by surprise. Pletscher has redesigned their one legged kickstand. It feels lighter, looks better, seems a lot more stable and is totally adjustable without cutting.

If yours lasts long enough to get to C&V status, I'll get one 
I'm more worried about the plastic getting brittle and breaking. Probably more of an issue in Texas than Michigan.
