Q&A: I can’t stand it
Q&A: I can’t stand it
Graham Tait
Does it already exist? Probably not. The Pletscher MultiFlex is designed to be clamped to the seatstay and chainstay of a cycle not made with an integral side-stand mounting boss. The design of the stand does not look easily adapted for use in conjunction with a rear disc calliper, so your best bet may well be to sell the MultiPlex and look for a stand that will either work without modification or can be more readily adapted to your requirements.
The FWE Kickstand from Evans Cycles looks like it will work with a chainstay-mounted disc brake. Failing that, the Click-Stand will certainly work, but it’s not a kickstand in the traditional sense.
