Kickstand broke, ideas for replacement
My Life + kickstand looks to have been drop forged. It was mounted on spot in front of back axle. It was a single leg with a rubber foot. I kicked it down into place and an 1/8 inch piece broke off front front of head. That allows leg to travel forward another inch or so, and sets bike at a precarious angle.
there is no name on kickstand as it came with TREK bike I assume its something Bontrager made or ordered from some inexpensive company.
There is a slot for the standard(?) bike kickstand, I'm unsure it would work because this bike weighs about 45 pounds, with gear on add another 10 pounds or so. I have seen pictures of 2 legged stand that are mounted in default hole, but when they are down they block the pedal rotation. I was wondering if anyone has seen a 2 legged on that mounts on back of bike? I need any and all ideas for now it leans against garage wall. I am thinking that 2 legs allow more support than a single leg, hopefully they will last longer. In all my years of riding I have never broken a kickstand. been scarred by them but they never broke and would only drop down while riding after many years of use. any ideas appreciated.
