Recommend me a kickstand

[Donger]

I have two steel-framed bikes, one a tourer and the other a MTB, and I would like to fit a kick stand to each of them. I have tried in the past, but always end up getting irritated by my heel occasionally brushing against the mount ... however far back I fix it. I do have very large feet (size 14), so it may be that my heels reach further back than most people's. Are there any stands that do not protrude from the side of the bike frame at all?

How about something of this nature that mounts further back.

Not so much Sideshow Bob as the living embodyment of your avatar, @Drago .... without the hair.

Finding anything cycle-related that fits a 6ft 6 tall 21 stoner is always an issue for me. Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully some more to come.

Don't think I'd wanna meet you two down a dark alley 😨

I'm 6'4 with size EU46 (UK 11) feet and I use a very similar stand to this. I've cycled through a few stands and this is far and away the best design I've encountered. I can recommend.

Mine didn't on the tourer I had it on. Will look for it and position it on a bike for you to see.

This is the one I used to use. Fitted it on to my current bike whi

ch already has a rear stand. Hope that helps.

I have something similar on my 90s MTB/touring bike. I think that is the best design. Mine is a Hebie.

I had several cheap ones of various designs, all of which broke or bent when used with panniers. I believe this is one of those purchases where it is definitely worth paying a bit extra for quality.
