Just bought a Trek FX 7.5. Asked the dealer to install a kickstand. What was installed was a heavy, steel kickstand that I would need to cut to give the bike a little more lean to the side. But what bugged me about it was that it was metal on my new bike's finish.

So my question is, are we stuck with steel kickstands? Is there anything unique out there? Adjustable? Lightweight? With a plastic-coated finish where it clamps on the bike?

I seem to need a kickstand occasionally, as when I ride to a friends and just want to hop off without propping it up next to something. Or when I want to get stuff out of my car, along with the bike itself.

What have you got for a kickstand?
