ah yes. i'm familiar with those. (i used to own a car.) that explains the valve cap.
btw, just because your bike falls outside the sub-20 pound category does not mean it is futile to shed weight where possible.
i guess if i found kickstands to be useful, i would appreciate them more. but i find them completely useless. i've never noticed a scratch on the bar tape from leaning my bike against a tree. and i probably would not trust a stand with holding up my bike to wind nor the occasional, too curious dog.
