Need kickstand input
Need a kickstand for this bike, traditional style is a no go (chain stay brake), axle mount is a no go, too much crap and it's got locknuts on it for hooking up my trailer. Input please?

That's a novel idea, I could use the bike as a rod holder too.. but I think I already have too much bulky crap essential to this build on it.

I've got a kickstand on my tandem that mounts just ahead of the rear dropout, and clamps across the chainstay and seatstay.
Similar to this one. Would this interfere with your hitch?

Here's the link to the item on Amazon. There are a lot of very similar ones available. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846
This one is a little nicer looking, IMO, and a few dollars less: https://www.amazon.com/Greenfield-SKS...ef=pd_sim_sg_4

Thanks a lot guys! Went with the amazon one, as I have prime membership and the price was right. Looks didn't matter either, as judging by the bike 
All the cyclists at the park seemed to think I was crazy, as did the fishermen

Next order of business, adding a couple hangers to the drive side so I can also pack out a folding chair without the trailer.

I am considering getting a kickstand. I am hiding this confession in this thread so no one will see it.
