I have a click-stand that I use when there is nothing to lean my bike on. When there is something to lean my bike on I do this and use the brake bands to secure the brakes. This is just what works for me, not suggesting you do it...
i have seen a number of pictures of damage caused by center mounted kick stands. I am not interested in those they don't work well enough for me and wouldn't mount one on a bike without a plate for it. I have considered click stand but use my bike for shopping and touring and they seem to be to much hassle. If I can't find someone who has used a rear triangle mount then I will move to another brand, it's just that I already have 26" wheels and would like to keep them.
Thanks for your response.
