Rear Mount Kickstand on Kona Dew Plus
I picked up a rear-mount kickstand from Dick's Sporting Goods this evening to mount on my Kona Dew Plus. I knew it wouldn't accept a regular kickstand, so I got this one. Started to put it together and realized that the bracket won't make contact with both points on the frame. I went ahead and tightened it down on one, to see if it would work. It seems ok, and out of the way from the pedal and rear brake.
Should I worry about this? It's on there solid and hasn't moved through 5 or so kicks.

Here's a link to how I've got it set up.

EDIT: Here's a better one. It's nowhere near the second bracket spot. It's totally out of the way of everything and seems to be holding up just fine.

having the disc brake there too, adds complication ..
those 2 holes ro the rear of what you have is for a different type of kickstand ,
that you may have to import from Europe
2 bolts hold it to that pair of holes ..
how far apart are they? this is the KS to mount on those 2 bolts .

NB: 2 spreads between those 2 bolts ..

I like those rear stay mounted kickstands, but it doesn't look like a safe/secure option for this bike.
