I had a rear flat tire the other morning. I was glad I always have my topeak flash stand with me. I did not have to lean my bike on its side while I made my repairs. If one does not mind the extra 1.10 lbs of load, this is good to have. BTW, to keep the chain from dangling, my bike frame comes with a chain hook. This you don't find in newer frames.
