may have said: Looking for kickstand recommendations for road bike with upright handlebars 700c rims. Comments on the Greenfield rear stay mount? If there isn't room for the regular Greenlee one-legger between the BB and the rear wheel, then this is sometimes an acceptable substitute. It has no advantages that I have been able to see over the regular one otherwise, and has the decided disadvantages of providing a snaggable froward-facing leg, and having its leg in a spot that's more likely to be a trip hazard (and less effective at keeping the bike upright in my experience) than the conventional-location unit. Comments on the ESGE Pletscher Double Legged stand? Is it long enough? I've never installed one, and I know that it has to be trimmed when used on some 'bents, but it looks like it may be a bit short of the mark on a bike that wears 700c rims if the BB is as high as many in that class tend to be. If there's room for the $50 ESGE, then there's room for the cheaper, more common one-leg Greenlee as well. For a 700c bike, get the longer of the two models; you might have to shorten it a bit, but it'll probably be about right as-is. -- My email address is antispammed; pull WEEDS if replying via e-mail.
