Kickstand Recommendations

[Bones]

Here is my predicament: I used the Pletscher double kickstand on my old Appaloosa. It (barely) cleared the 50mm Cazaderos I had on there, but it did. On my new Appaloosa, it does not fit at all. So I tried the Flex single. That works for that size tire, but it rubs as soon as I put on a 2.25" tire. I tried a Soma double kickstand from another bike. It fits fine but it bounces around too much, even on pavement (and it is a little bulky). I do not want my kickstand to dictate my choice of tire. Does anyone have a recommendation for a kickstand that works on a newer Appaloosa with 2.25" tires? Preferably a double but I'm fine with a single.

Thanks,

Bones

Bones, have you looked at a chain stay mounted kickstand, Steve

Not really, perhaps I should? Are they stable with a front-loaded bike? That's typically how I carry my gear.

I've been really happy with my Pletscher Zoom.  It is a one legged stand so it won't interfere with the tire size.

I found them as stable as center mount single leg, but with much weight I try to brace my front wheel against anything nearby.

Has a similar issue with 60mm Schwalbe Go-one Speed tires on my Rosco Baby bike - either of these double kickstands would work, I had the BV one around so that’s what I used:

BV Bike Kickstand, Center Mount Bicycle Stand - Length Adjustable, Foldable Double Leg for 24"-28" Bikes https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00LNLXML4/

VO Copenhagen double kickstand: ttps://velo-orange.com/products/vo-retractable-dual-leg-kickstand

I’ve found a rear mount kickstand is more stable with a front load compared to a center mount single legger.
