Ok fitting for a kickstand?
Hello!
Thank you for a great forum.
I'm wondering if this kickstand is ok. Can it somehow destroy the frame?
It's a double butted frame.
Is it best to get something between the kickstand and the frame that protects?

without changing the outside diameter , usually applies just to the main tubes .
stays tend to be straight gage. taking a regular tube and forming a taper in them thickens the wall ..

I utilised a similar stand for a number of years calleda Greenfield kickstand
https://www.eurekabrands.com.au/greenfield-kickstands/
which I enjoyed using.
When I built my latest bike I could no longer use that type of stand due to my disk brake being mounted in the position inside the seatstay/chainstay triangle.
The alternative I chose which I'm over the moon with is a clickstand

Goodluck with your decision

Its maybe aluminum... Butting is making the tube wall thinner in the center, thicker on the ends
