I have a 2016 toughroad SLR 1 (for this problem this should be equal to the SLR2) without the rack.
I want fenders
and a kickstand. I found this fender on the
Canadian website, also on a ductch and UK... but not the US website. I couldn't find a US source. Does anyone know where to source that in the US? If I get desperate I try to buy it from the Canadian website if they ship to the US.
I asked the LBS to order that for me, but they take forever (need minimum order to get something shipped). So I'm getting a bit impatient after 2 weeks and them not even being ordered by LBS. (and yes I will let them know in advance if I end up ordering from the internet so they don't end up ordering it)
LBS told me kickstand can't be mounted due to disc brakes. I found this
Giant kickstand that looks like to be made for the toughroad and comes with longer skewer. I don't see how the disc brake would interfere. Does anyone have this or a different kickstand on the Toughroad?
Are the skewer mounted kickstand and the fenders mutually exclusive, or can they be both be mounted?
alternatively I could find a 3rd party kickstand that seems to get mounted on the chainstay or by the BB. But would like confirmation it actually works on the Toughroad.
And is there some inherent advantage or disadvantage to a skewer, chainstay or BB mounted kickstand? I'm really perplexed why kickstands are such an afterthought. do people just lay bikes on the ground or find a post to lean onto?
I researched the net and also consulted LBS, so the Best & Brightest of BF are my hope. i posted similar questions to the SLR 2 thread, but thought as a standalone thread the specific problem gets more attention
