I have been using this stand myself for over 6 years now, when the frame of my Huffy Cranbrook broke, I simply transferred it to my "new" Hyper Cruiser frame two years ago and it still is holding strong on this build which weighs in at 80 pounds...Hope this is of some help for your considertion on a new stand rather than fussing with the one you have...DAMIEN
If you want to spend the money. This one is over the top. I had a problem with the size of my gas bike frame and the stock sand from BS Berry. It bent, and my bike nearly blew over in the wind a few times. this one is a beast
I think I can just bend up, or angle cut a piece of tubing to make the stand portion, and leave the spring/hinge. The tubing on mine was made of balsa wood.
Not sure if I want panniers, or a basket on the rack like Rusty had. Started shopping a little and realized the same baskets you can get for kitchen storage are the ones that come with the "bike" baskets, but just lack the little mounting hardware.

These are the ones I have been using for around 7 or 8 years now on my bike which you can see from my previous post on this thread and the price is right too...lol...(They were only 14 bucks when I bought them...Thank-You Joe Biden...lol.)...It also has the "hooks" on them for hooking them onto the rear carrier rack.
They're great if you just happen to "dump" the bike as they protect the bike and your body from damage if you dump it...You just simply bend the baskets back into shape, no harm done...Great "shock absorbing" ability...lol.
