KS2 Bicycle Kickstand

They have done what so many other manufacturers can't seem to do. Make a good quality kickstand that actually does what it is supposed to do......hold a bike up. I've been through countless kickstands for my kids bikes and all were pieces of crap in one way or another. All failed to reliably hold the bike upright in a variety of conditions. This one does what its supposed to do. What a novel concept!!!!! Don't wait, don't do additional research. If you want an affordable product that actually holds a bike upright, but this one. Added points for easy to install and for made in the USA!

It is possibly the least expensive, but the best of the choices available. It needs only one bolt to install it, which goes in the middle of the bicycle, which makes it more stable compared to the ones installed near the rear axle. It is small, easily hides when not in use, and appears to be rust resistant.

I really like the build quality it's sturdy

I was looking for a good quality kickstand to go on my newly purchased Trek 7.3FX (17.5in). After reading the reviews I decided to get the longer version of this product. The new kickstand looks great in glossy black. It is a high quality metal and feels like it can take alot of weight. My order also came with the rubber feet which helps give the stand some grip. The only issue I had was that it was slightly too long. I was easily able to cut down the length with a hacksaw to make it work better. I probably took off a little too much, but it still works great. Some advice. Make sure you only trim down a little bit at a time to avoid making it too short. But all together this is a great kickstand and will work great on your bike.

My 1995 Trek 820 mountain bike never came with a kickstand. For twenty years I'd lay the thing on the ground or rest it on a tree whenever I needed to get off. I've been riding a lot more lately and I got sick of not being able to get off the bike and stand it anywhere. My wife's Nishiki from 1992 had a kickstand. She'd get off her bike and she could stand it anywhere while I'm looking for a tree to rest it against. So dumb. I looked on Amazon for kickstands and there were all these weird looking plastic stands that mount further down near your tire. They were small and they didn't look very secure. Then I found a stand that is made by the same company that my wife's Nishiki bike has. It's the same darn thing. It mounts at the frame joint just like my wife's old bike. You just line up the top and bottom plate and screw it on tightly. Now I've got a really nice black kickstand that looks like it's always been part of the bike. It attached quickly and securely and it works like gangbusters. Now no matter where I am - on a trail, in a parking lot, on the side of the road, a quick kick down and I'm off the bike. Perfection. I like that the same company makes the same stand that came with a bike that is over 30 years old. It's kickstand engineering perfection. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? I can't believe it took me this long to get a kickstand. But now I have one and my bike is so much happier. I'm so much happier. Get this stand. Make sure it will fit on your bike, but get this stand once you know it will work. It's the grandpa of kickstands. Accept no substitutes. Kick it up.

Great kickstand! Rugged and reliable. And I'm not worried about the extra ounces extra weight to have a really good kick stand. When my daughter bought a used Greenfield that had been cut down to 265 mm (probably for a kid's bike), I discovered the brand name for these kickstands that I've seen since I was a kid. But hers was too short for her 27" bike, so I bought the 305 mm unit. It fits perfectly, allowing her bike to stand almost straight upright -- with enough lean to keep it upright when her handlebar basket is filled with books. I added the Greenfield rubber foot so it'll stand in the grass with a full basket also. I just added another 305 mm Greenfield unit to my wife's 700 mm bicycle (with handlebar basket also). I don't think it'll need any of its length cut off for her either! For hers, an exposed cable for the front derailleur passes just across the corner of the top plate on the kickstand. It rubs a bit, but it's not extreme -- worth watching. Of three bikes now with this Greenfield, only one had a mounting area that fit the kickstand perfectly. The other two just had an opening between two of the bike's metal tubes behind the pedal crank body, and the long bolt provided with the kickstand was plenty long to allow good tightening. The bolt has a 9/16" head, and it was hard to get to it for tightening on one bike. I may replace it with a 5/16-13 x 2" socket head cap screw so that I can use an Allen wrench for better tightening. This is the only change that might be needed. Whether or not you use a hacksaw to cut if down a centimeter or less, this is the kick stand that'l last. Also get the four dollar Greenfield Rubber Foot if you plan to stand up you bike in the grass or on gravel or dirt. When the bike goes eventually, I'll keep the kickstand!

Excelente kickstand, sin nada super sofisticado cumple su funcion de forma genial, la pata es de una sola pieza de metal, no es hueca y se siente bastante firme, pedi la de 30mm y le quedo perfecta a mi MTB de Rodado 29" talla M, no fue necesario recortarla y la bicicletaa no se necesita inclinar para que se mantenga de pie, cosa que sucedía con la que tenia antes y que ocasionaba que se cayera a veces por que le ganaba la inclinacion.

サンダーで長さ調整が必要かなと思っておりましたが、あてがってみるとジャストフィットでした。 星5つ付けたいが、ボルトがかっこ悪いしボルトに緩み防止の為であろう、螺旋状にきざみがありそのまま使ったら上の固定具を削りまくる為、ヘックスボルトに変更しワッシャーをかませた。 良い意味でチープさがあり、MADE IN USA 素敵！ 装着前にクリーナーで一度アルミカスを取った方が良い。

Very nice product and light wight

My wife's bike had this stand for 15 years & broke. I used other manufactures, but they are not that stable & not so smooth to fold. I was happy to find the same stand in Amazon. It looks the same & works the same. Very stable & easy to fold. I bought extra for just in case. I would recommend this product.
