Upstand: The thin stand
The concept is simple: a washer with an integrated magnet is placed under the quick-release and the side support is attached to it, keeping the bike securely in place. If you want to remove the support, a quick pull is all it takes and the carbon tube is quickly split in two like a tent pole and disappears into the jersey or onto a holder that fits onto the bidon eyelets. For less sporty use, there is also a version in which the carbon side support cannot be split in two.
Suitable magnetic washers are also available for mountain bikes with 12 millimeter thru-axles, so nothing stands in the way of mounting the inventive kickstand on contemporary bikes.
