If those back chainstays are straight, you MAY be able to get something like the Bontrager rear mount around the disc brake. Possibly a Pletscher stand, but those are fairly spendy and large. Beyond that, if you find something, let me know!

They can damage your bike.

They are not all that stable.
They are often difficult to install cleanly.

And most important...they usually very ugly.
Leaning against stuff can damage my paint as well.
I can get my bike stuck in or damaged by others in a bike rack.
My bike falls just as often leaning as it does on its appropriately adjusted kickstand, if not more.
There isn't always a convenient or socially appropriate place to lean a bike.

And most importantly: I've never regretted having the option to use a kickstand.
