I have a Greenfield Stabilizer kickstand on a couple (maybe 3) of my bikes [MENTION=36719]rcd[/MENTION] . These are aluminum and fit similar to the steel Coda shown above. Putting a steel kickstand on an aluminum frame just doesn't seem right. With Coda being a sub-brand of Cannondale, I don't know what they were thinking. Wait, yes I do, People don't want to spend a bunch of money on a kickstand and Cannondale needed a solution for a customer that just plunked down >$500 for the bike doesn't want to part with more money for a fancy aluminum kickstand. So, stamped steel is cheap and it fits.

By the way, Greenfield is interesting in the bike business. They only make kickstands. No other bike accessory. And they only make aluminum kickstands.

Here is a BikemanforU video that shows how to install the Greenfield Stabilizer and also give you a good look at it.


Of course, with your aluminum tubes, be careful to tighten just right.

And a link to ModernBike who has it for a fair price. I paid more than double that from a Local Bike Shop. The advantage of paying more at a local shop is that if you bring your bike to the shop and it doesn't work, you don't pay and they may have some other solution.

These kickstands have been rock solid for me. In the shop other people will move my bike and there is no problem with the crank getting caught on the kickstand like a traditional bottom bracket mount kickstand. I like these rear mounted kickstands.
