Even with a red brick under my kickstand (almost vertical), it's very difficult to get both forks of my crappy Harbor Freight "Haul Master" low-profile stand lined up with the spools. I usually end up holding the bike vertical with one hand (dangerous) or I kinda have to tilt my stand and then wedge it under with one side first to ensure that it falls onto the other side properly. That means all the weight of the bike on ONE side of a *cheap* stand for a few critical moments. My coworker commented to say that it was a "nice, sturdy, stand," so I showed him the malformed screw that had metal in the head so you couldn't insert a screwdriver.
