Before I bought my expensive road bike, I had a my hybrid bike and put a kickstand on this bike. Face it, kickstands are PRACTICAL. There are too many places where you get off the bike, but there is nowhere to stand the bike, except on the ground.
I bought a road bike a few months back, and alas, no kickstand. I had difficulty standing it against things, and people kept telling me that I shouldn't lay it on the ground. Enter the flashstand! Now, when I go for a ride, I bring it, and when I need to get off my bike voila - instant kickstand!
The flashstand is lightweight and compact. It folds up into about a 6 inch strip, so you can just put in your bento bag or pocket.
When I went to my local bike store, one of the employees saw me using it, and he ran up to me, asked to borrow it, and showed it to his manager (they don't sell the flashstand at this store).
I do not know of any other contraption that would allow me to have a kickstand on my carbon frame bike, so I'm pleased with the flashstand.
True, what they say - it's not compatible with all bikes. I have a Madone 5.1 WSD and it works fine with this. According to the manufacturer, it is compatible with "Shimano® Dura Ace, Ultegra or 105 non-drive side crank arm with a dimension of 35mm x 80mm to securely hold a 700c road bike".
Somone also mentioned stability as an issue. It is not as stable as a good kickstand, but it's workable. When using it, there is better stability if you turn the front wheel in the opposite direction of the side the flashstand is located.
All in all.....for me, it's a must have, and I give it a 4 of 5 stars.

I'm pretty sure the description states that this is a Road Bike Stand. So I have no sympathy for someone rating this a one star who purchased this for a MTN bike. That being said, I like this stand. The only purpose for this review is that I have a Cannondale Synapse Carbon 4 (SRAM) Rival and it fits nicely.

I just bought a new road bike and it was not made to have a kick stand mounted to the frame (I have yet to understand why this is, but hey...), so I bought this flashstand slim. Used it many times this weekend on a small bike tour, and I have to say it works beautifully. I had no problems with it, and the bike was very sturdy when in use. I have a larger frame bike, so I had to use the adjustment screw located on the bottom of the flashstand to fit my bike frame. I read the reviews here before I bought this, and I haven't figured out why everyone did not rate this a 5 star? This is just as stable as a real kickstand, so if you are in my position, and have a road bike that you cannot mount (or just do not want to mount) a real kickstand to, this comes highly recommend from me. If you do not like the "Flashstand" idea, the only other thing I found that might work (if you have a heavy load on your bike) is google "click stand", and see what you think?
