I saw this kickstand on eBay:

enter image description here

It mounts on the bottom bracket. When installing this, should a spacer also be installed on the other side of the bottom bracket?

Right now, my crankset is a Shimano 105 FC-5700 with the inner chainring removed and my cassette is a 10-speed 105 11-28T. I was just wondering if a spacer would be added to the drive side, would that affect the chainline much?

These are intended to clamp around the cup itself.

Spindles have essentially zero spline engagement to lose. You can't really put spacers under road outboard BB cups.

  • Oh, you mean they go wrap around the cup of the bb (like a shim for tubes) and not behind/under it? – dork Apr 24 '17 at 5:31

    Yep, they clamp around the cup. – Nathan Knutson Apr 24 '17 at 5:59
