Better, If the frame came with a mounting plate , but it does Not , Surly/QBP contract stipulations
got justified as to why not..

I have a Koga Trekking Bike , it comes with 2 Prop-stands , One under the Left front lowrider.
the other one on the frame , Mine at the center , later at/near the rear dropout.

The ends of the plietcher or the click-stand need a firm surface to resist penetration into soft turf.

or find a board, or bottle cap to make a bigger footprint.

enough people want to put a Kickstand On LHT's Plietcher makes curved plastic pieces
and Special upper clamp cap for the purpose..

largely If im not loading it or stopping briefly The Bike is Locked to something..
