Not that it helps the OP... The clickstand looks really good. I use a variation when touring (on the half bike at least): an alloy tent peg with about 1.5m of nylon cord - loop the top of the cord over the seatpost and peg the other end into the ground. The bike is upright for unloading/loading panniers and, especially if the ground is not too sandy and both peg and tires have enough grip, stable enough to withstand strong winds (think Brittany in September) and tripping over the cord in the dark on the way to the loo without toppling. Total weight <10g.
