I have the Pletscher on my LHT, it seems to work fine. It was the one recommended if you just got to have a stand by Surly. Having said that, I'm not all that impressed with it. Likely, it will be coming off my LHT in the next day or so. It works fine, but with the load on the back, it's not stable enough. The chainstay mounted variety was how people were really messing up their LHT frames with heavy loads then leaning them on the chainstay mounted stand.
For me, two days of Pletscher really isn't worth all the work I put into it for the few occasions it would actually come in handy, I'm still leaning the bike on everything like it doesn't have a kickstand.
