I have come to appreciate that a rear axle area/rear triangle kickstand works much better than a mid mount with a rear rack/pannier/trunk bag set up. It is much more stable. Much better....Mucho...bigness better...embiggen lots...so very swell. I would not consider using a mid mount kickstand, unless it was on a bike without a rear rack....To each their own....The tubing of the seatstays and chainstays is thicker by the rear axle, as they are swaged down to a taper. I wrapped the kickstand mount areas on both with self vulcanizing rubber electrical tape and it does not budge or loosen. Blue locktited of course. No crushing the chainstays at the bottom of the seat tube...
