BV Bike Kickstand - Mountain Bike Kick Stand for 24-29" Bicycles - Adjustable Length, Non-Slip Sole, Aluminum Alloy Material - Bicycle Kickstand

Very effective and easy to install kickstand. Solid build quality. Took 2 minutes to install, once finding the right allen key in my toolbox. Easy to adjust to the bike's stance.

This kickstand fit our Trek Verve 2 bikes perfectly. We chose the regular duty stands with 18mm bolts. This is a quality stand and works well. If you’ve never had a stand fitted to your bike, keep in mind that the threaded holes in the frame may have a significant amount of paint in them. There’s no chance you’ll be able to thread the screws in by hand. This may lead to thinking that the screws are an incorrect size. I was overly cautious so I removed a screw elsewhere on the bike that was the same size and checked. Using an allen wrench I was able to eventually clean the paint out using tiny steps back and forth, going a little deeper each time.

My original kickstand which came from the dealer broke into pieces when my bike fell over. I purchased this 18mm kickstand for my Giant bicycle. I was careful to thread the screws into place without the kickstand with some WD40 to make sure the screws would go in without trouble. Since the threads were probably dirty I backed the screws in and out a couple of times but I was eventually confident everything was OK.Then I went to screw the kickstand on and the holes on the bike seemed to be slightly closer together than the 18mm. So I redrilled the holes with a 1/4" bit which gave me just enough room so that the kickstand screwed on easily. The drilling was very quick and easy since the kickstand is made of soft metal. I checked everything out and it seems very solid and surprisingly easy to adjust. Its a much better stand than the original one provided by the bike store.

Easy to install. Really easy to adjust length, which is nice when carrying an extra load and the center of balance changes. My bike frame used smaller screws than the ones that came with the kickstand. Not really a problem with the kickstand itself, but I had to go find the correct size screws for my frame as I bent the screw when I broke the old kickstand.

Bolted right on my trek marlin 29 inch tires. Works as intended. Would recommend this.

Easy enough install, adjustment slider seems sturdy, bike feels very stable

As other people have mentioned, it's hard to remove the lock from it's frame mount, I sprayed some silicon on the mount mechanism and that made it a little easier to remove the lock from it's mount. If it were too loose it would rattle when biking, so I prefer having to fight with it a bit to remove it, to having it rattle over bumps. It was easy to install. Other than the above, it's easy to use. I like that it included the cable so after U locking to frame and rear wheel, I can use the cable for the front wheel. Knowing that an angle grinder can cut through nearly any U lock, I think this lock is a good balance between weight and security. The space between the rear wheel and the main from bar is too big to get both of them in the U, but the frame bars that go down to the rear tire can be easily locked with the rear wheel.In spite of the difficulty removing the lock from its mount, I still think it's 5 stars and would recommend it.

Fits my Fuji Nevada 29 perfectly. Real solid build holds the bikes up no problem
