  • I have had a look at the Tubus kickstand. I reckon the omnium will be superior. No?

    Yeah. You'll still need the tubus one if you don't want the bars spinning with a heavy front load

  • I'm not especially familiar with Parkinson's but would it be easier for him to use a one-legged kickstand (Tubus) than a two-legged one? You have to lift the bike up with the Omnium type one which means two hands lifting the bike, balance on one leg + kick the stand out with the other. With the one legged stand you just kick it out whilst holding the bike upright on the ground.

    Explained that poorly but hopefully you know what I mean - Omnium type requires more coordination and balance to use (though they are much more stable)

  • The omnium one is super solid! Maybe too solid, in this case? Takes some force to put down.
