I don't think that hitch would interfere w/ the kickstand. Bummer if the alternative one is no longer available. We actually have a few floating around, I should look into rounding them up, seeing if they have missing parts, and getting them back into circulation.
We also have a couple like the one you linked, but cast(?) flat, not w/ ridges around the edge.

Common to need 3 lengths for the 2 wheels.
I've come to think the spoke holder is a Gimmick for Image, .. when the spokes in the thing
don't fit your wheel just that..
Now that you mention it those spokes are definitely not associated w/ the wheels on that bike right now. I also think the spokeholder is a gimmick. I think they had a 'what else can we braze onto this thing' party when drawing it up. I don't use those spokes, I don't use the frame pump peg, I don't use the chain hanger (I tried a couple times but it keeps falling off). I don't even use the brake stop on the rear triangle since I switched over to V brakes.
Still love the bike though.
