For me, at any rate, the flip-down/flip-up Steer Stopper would be useful in
the grocery store to momentarily park your bike against the soup cans or
Orowheat while shopping. Not sure it's worth $100 to me, but it's worth
thinking about.

+1 for velcro straps. Every bike has one wrapped around the handlebar. Use
it to hold your front brake lever and B.O.B.'s your uncle!

This is brilliant. I must order one, assuming they have it for 1" threaded
headsets, and that I have enough room for the spacer mount.
The Shimano locking headset would also be an option, but installation is
more involved and, I assume, more problematical? 2003 Ultegra cartridge
headset for 1"
The 'Headset Locker' seems like a great solution, if you have enough extra
length on your steerer tube.

Another product that fails to meet the "no user action required"
requirement is a Shimano headset locker for city bikes. Google "HP-NX10
headset locker". I haven't used that product. I use velcro straps when I
need to prevent wheel flop. I leave the right length velcro strap
permanently
Bob,
My solution probably doesn't meet your requirements, but boy does it do
what you want. It's a commercial product called a SteerStopper
[https://steerstopper.com]. It holds my front wheel complete straight and
firmly whenever I engage it. It doesn't meet your need to not do anything
to
I use a toe clip strap to lock the front brake lever. If the wheel can't
roll, the bike wont fall when loading/unloading panniers.

I'm looking for a solution to wheel tippage while using a regular kickstand
that:
- Does *not* require you to do anything (e.g.: flick down a flickstand)
- Isn't dangerous
- Looks cleaner/simpler than the VO product.
- Lasts a while so I can forget
