rear mount kickstands

[huffmuds9320]

I'm looking for a rear mount kickstand that will fit my bike with disc brakes. I don't like the kind you mount in the center right behind the bottom bracket because it gets in the way of the crank.

Greenfield makes a rear mount one but it doesn't clear the disc rotor. There is another brand called Tranz-X which makes a few different kinds, not sure if those are any good.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I bought a Tranz-X kickstand from REI. You can see the mounting bracket on the left chainstay. Sorry, I don't find a picture that shows the kickstand well. Although the stand was adjustable in length to begin with, I had to extend it a bit. I epoxied an aluminum tube over the provided tube and also epoxied the sawed off "foot" into the end of the tube. Works fine (not on soft ground), but I don't know if your crank or pedal would clear the mounting bracket or the disc brake.

I don't want my water bottle to touch grass that's been soaked in urine and that's full of [censored]. I like to be able to take my camera out the bag under my saddle without having to kneel down. I don't want the bar ends to get all dingy and ugly. I don't just drop my bike like a 12 year old. I'll lean my bike on your car while shopping, though!

Different strokes....
I don't have a saddlebag, if it won't fit in my cargo shorts' pockets, it ain't going with me.
I usually lean my bike on a tree if I stop, but usually I don't stop until I'm ready to go home.

I can't fit my six-shooters in my pants pockets.

I was eyeballing this one:

Adjustable low cost unit

My bike came no kickstand, and with a motor it becomes essential to have a kickstand. I bought a hoop style, and it's an excellent kickstand for holding the bike, the mounting surfaces allowed too many slip planes on the rear axle (quick release), so with high torque the wheel would go left, hard.

That looks almost identical to the $20 Tranz-X.

Make sure your heel clears the mounting bracket when pedaling (if that ever happens).

I'm more worried about it hitting my silencer!

 

[moribundman]

Just lean your bike on a tree!

Well then, the question becomes " Can you get 'em out and aimed before someone sees that some harm comes to you?"

I should mount them on the handlebar!

I installed a Coda (Cannondale's in house brand) on my wife's Cannondale. She vas Vee brakes, but this thing looks like it would clear discs.

Or tuck them into your kneesocks!

I needed some other stuff, so I up and ordered it.

I don't remember ever wearing kneesocks. I don't even own any.

This one looks like it will fit any bike.

Hey Mori, your pictures are at Lake Merced. In the last pic you can see a dragonboat team in the background.

The only concern is length. Also, you should wrap a piece of inner tube or something similar around the chainstay, or the mounting bracket will damage the paint.

I am using that model, but I had to modify it.

PS: But can you see Crown Vic man?

By the way, the two granite posts mark the place of the last official duel in San Francisco. The place is hidden away near Lake Merced. Read more here about the Brodrick/Terry Duel.
