Kickstand for Full Suspension Haibike Frames - Experience & Tips

[nerdo]

At last I got my 27,5" SDURO FullSeven 1.0 in dark grey anthracite ... luv it

I ordered an adjustable kickstand with 18 mm holes, XLC german made, comes with 2 x M5 screws but no nuts.
I found out that 2 x 30 mm long M6 screws with nyloc nuts are needed for the job, so I ordered those.

The kickstand mounting holes on full suspension Haibike frames is found on the left chainstay, nicely hidden by a plastic cover.
Frame holes are smooth and not threaded.
Corresponding to the holes on the inside of the chainstay there's a nut shaped depression, neat detail!

The kickstand holes needed a bit of widening to accommodate the M6 screws, that's where my Dremel came in handy.
Used the largest metal drill bit I have, light circular movements in the whole easily ate away some aluminum.
Doing that few time and checking frequently if the screw fits.

I didn't find much useful info while looking for suitable kickstand (thanks Bicyclista)
I hope this helps others

Please share if you know about/find a kickstand with M6 sized holes.... so no Dremel action is required!

Where did you purchase this kickstand? It’s one of the nicer ones I have seen

Trying to see if you have that bolted on in the close up pics. The bolt has to extend just slightly through the nut so it picks up the nylon lock and actually works as a lock nut.

Why didn't you just get some M5 bolts instead of using a Dremel?

Pretty sure it's the same as this strangely translated one I ran across on eBay when I was searching for XLC parts:
Easel Paw of Goat

They are now
Pics were taken before I finished completely with install... wanted to line mounting area with some material to prevent potential scratching of chain stay.

2 reasons, 5M nuts are smaller than the depressed spots on inside of the chainstay, then the need for a wrench to hold while tightening, maybe a scratch or two while you are at it. In addition the M5 screws will not fill the M6 holes in chainstay, for me that's a potential mm back and forth movement!

Ok thanks for clarifying. When you said that the holes weren't big enough so you had to Dremel, I thought it was because it uses M5 instead.
