Chain stay brakes and kickstands
Hey all...
I want to put a kickstand on a bike I just picked up that happens to have chain stay mounted brakes. I thought I would reach out to see what options you all have used.
I'm using the Greenleaf rear kickstand on my tandem, but I figured there is more than one way to skin a cat.
I toyed with the idea of going without a kickstand, I figured the bike is 20 years old and has done without one this long...I hate it. Different strokes for different folks, eh?
Thanks in advance for your product suggestions.

You could mount the kickstand normally and put a side pull brake on the bridge. If it has a bridge.
I don't want to make you feel old but the chain stay brakes were 30 years ago not 20

Pedal to the medal
I've seen kick stands that mount on the non-drive side drop out as opposed to behind the bottom bracket. That may serve you.

Pletcher is another manufacturer, of KS, etc. they're A Swiss Company.
I got their 'zoom' kickstand variation, there are 2 sections that bolt together, (small bolts)
I have already taken advantage of the ability to make it a little longer,
something you cannot do with a sawn to length installation. done with a hacksaw..

Check out Montgomeryward.com. Somebody bought ALL the intellectual stuff after they folded. Same name, same look, completely different. Crazy, eh?

Here is something a little different - Products and Ordering
Someone posted it in a different thread the other day. Thought it was pretty neat...bit expensive though.

I put a standard Greenfield kickstand on a Peugeot MTB with a chain stay brake. All I had to do is shorten the stand mounting bolt so it didn't interfere with the brake cable.

Thanks all!
I am tempted by the stick looking temporary stand...but I'll probably just go with the Greenfield rear mount.
