How to mount central (two-legged) kickstand on normal bike frame

Bicycles Asked by Tpw on December 22, 2020

I bought this kickstand, but it has grooves in the top that the instructions said should slot into the “stand plate” on the frame.

My frame looks like this: doesn’t seem to have a plate of any kind, and the chainstays don’t fit into the grooves on the kickstand.

So is this kickstand a weird one that needs some kind of plate, or are all centre kickstands like this? If so, how do I fit one to my frame – can I buy a separate base plate? This was the only thing I could find like that..

One Answer

The groves are for any cables that are routed under the stays.
Your kickstand should have come with a counter plate - B in the picture below

Your kickstand is slightly different but the mounting instructions will be the same as the kickstand below

  • Check if the distance between the housing of the bottom bracket bearings on the frame and the tyre of the rear wheel is sufficient for the assembly operation.
  • Now you attach supporting surface C from below to the chain stay on the frame. If there are cables here you press these into the notches D provided for this purpose.
  • Adjust the double-leg kickstand in such a way that when folded into place there is space of at least 15 mm between the kickstand and the tyre of the rear wheel.
  • Now you place counter plate B on the chain stay from above and fasten it with clamping screw A.
  • Tighten clamping screw A to a tightening value of 21- 23 Nm.
  • Finally you check that the chain can move freely. For this purpose you should engage all the gears once.
