Just got John from CA's kickstand suggestion. Fits perfectly. No bolts included, but the threads on the kickstand fit the bolts that came with the Tero. Perhaps I shouldn't be amazed, but I am.

Redundantly, here's a shot of the area in question on my bike. In the pic just above it looks like they're using the holes the brake's mounted on. (Should have posted this earlier. I'm never an early adopter and just assumed the existence of a Tero 5 user base when there isn't one.) John from...

Right, that's the one I linked. Thanks for offering to check, Your mentioning the Trek version led me to check the kickstand on my wife's Allant+ 7. Those bolt holes are arranged horizontally, about 1" apart. No corresponding holes on the T5. In fact, I don't see holes, vertically arranged...

On page four of the thread you'll see chucker11's T5 with a Topeak that is pretty far above the tire, quite a bit higher than what Specialized sells. With a bag on it that's something to contend with getting off, even if you dismount while rolling with one foot on a pedal. (Is there a term for...
