Bikes: 08 LHT and 13 giant defy 2 composite

I use a rear mounted kickstand on my LHT,the kind that mount on the seat stay and chain stay.
But there is no reason you can't mount any kickstand you want to your bike.
If you mount a double legged or even a single up front close to the bottom bracket just tape a piece of old inner tube underneath the clamps.This helps keep it from slipping and you won't need to tighten it to much.

Actually this is a good thing to do no matter what kickstand you use.

Over tightening is what crushes or bends the tubes.
Lock nuts may also help,but I haven't needed them.
