If I were you, I would get rid of that side stand. The clamp will eventually crush your chain stays and those darn stands are not all that stable. Additionally, when putting a lightweight road bicycle on the road, why add the extra weight of a side stand? Lean your bike against a wall or something you can lock it up to if need be.

Just my opinion, but after refurbishing roughly 500 vintage road bicycles, I have seen my share of crushed chain stays.
