>>974019>It's not a strawman,Sure it is. The bike I bought wasn't "neglected", the kickstand was loose. I've had no other maintenance related issues with it.
It isn't a "piece of shit" either, Trek 90's hard-tail mountain bike.
I'm not "too lazy to maintain" it, I do regular maintenance on all my bikes.
And if I'm "blaming the kickstand", what am I blaming it for?
Truth is, it's one more part, one more thing to go wrong.
Unless it has some compensating benefit, it's gotta go.
And no, kickstands just don't have enough benefit to justify their existence in most people's eyes.
