BV-KA70

After years of laying my hybrid mountain down on its side every time I dismounted, I finally bought the kickstand I should have purchased years ago. This thing is great! Installation was a cinch, although I did have to add my own rubber spacer to securely grip the chainstay. I had originally thought the adjustable height was a bit gimmicky but it turned out to be the highlight of the product. It's awesome to be able to adjust it based on terrain. Parking on hardtop? Set it at its tallest setting. On an incline where the ground slopes up on the left side of your bike? Set it at its lowest setting. On a recent trail trip that took me over terrain from concrete to sandy beaches, this kickstand performed flawlessly and I found myself using the height adjustment all the time. An added bonus is that the adjustment isn't a bright red panic button as on some competing products; it's a small cam lever on the backside of the stand that's invisible from the front-facing side. I had originally wanted a kickstand that attached to both the seatstay and chainstay for added mounting security but I feared such a design probably wouldn't work for me as I have a rack and saddlebags that take up a lot of room in the corner where these two parts of the frame meet -- I don't think I have the room to put something else there! I took a chance with a kickstand that attached to only the chainstay and couldn't be happier. With the addition of the rubber spacer and some good torque on the mounting bolts, the kickstand is rock steady. So my only complaint would be the lack of included thicker rubber gripper/spacers. But when that job is easily performed by an old tube, I can't really complain (save your old worn inner tubes for this purpose -- an inchlong strip makes a great gripper! If you need it thicker, just cut the strip longer and wrap it around a few times. If you don't have a tube handy, ask your local bike shop for one; they go through one every time they change a flat and would probably be happy to hand one over to you).

I recently purchased this clamp-on kickstand for my Yamaha Moro 05, and I'm very happy with it, especially for the price. The adjustable length is a fantastic feature, allowing me to get the perfect angle for stability on different surfaces. It feels sturdy and does exactly what I need it to do. For my particular application on the Yamaha Moro 05, the included bolts were not long enough to securely clamp onto the chainstay. I had to replace two of the bolts with M6*1.0 30mm bolts. I was able to find these easily at Home Depot. I was able to reuse one of the original bolts, so only two new bolts were needed for a secure fit. Once I had the right bolts, installation was a breeze. For the price, you can't beat the value. If you have a bike with a thicker chainstay like the Moro 05, just be prepared to make a quick trip to the hardware store for longer bolts. Otherwise, this is a solid, adjustable, and affordable kickstand.

Work very well. Solid build. Good quality paint and materials. Good for adult bike. Adjustments are very helpful. Looks and works great.

I recently bought a bike and one of the primary components I like on my bike are kickstands. OK, I like brakes and wheels too, plus a nice seat... but a kickstand is high on my list of must-haves for a bike. But the bike I bought didn't have the usual available spot to install a standard kickstand and the shop owner said you can't install a kickstand on these bikes. HA, I bet he only said that because of a lack of forward thinking and not having any BV Bike Kickstands in stock. So I went online, found these rear-mounting kickstands, reading over all the instructions very carefully and after looking at measurements and sizing and what not, landed on this product. it works wonderfully, is quite adjustable and so far, seems tough enough. I am not unhappy at all with it and yes, it does the trick just fine. Oh, and it was stupidly easy to install!!! Just make sure to place it far enough back to get out of the way of your foot on a pedal as it goes spinning by. UPDATE 7-3-19: There is one small quirk I'm having and that is, no matter how tight I think I have it, it seems to continually come loose and then the weight of the bike pushes out the angle of the kickstand. I'm always pushing it back with my foot and intermittently tightening the three bolts, but it's something to watch for. Still a great little stand if you can keep ahead of the loosening nuts... the ALLEN BOLT nuts. I totally recommend this one if you don't have a center-mount kickstand already.

Yes... I have done it. Committed the unforgiveable sin of putting a kickstand on a mountain bike. *Gasp* If you read around online about such things, you'll find most people saying the only thing worse than putting on a kickstand is a little basket with flowers on it and those colorful streamers on the handlebars. But for me... well, when I'm out on a trail or something sure I can just lean it up against a tree or lay it over on the ground. But when I'm on paved trails or riding around town, there's not always a convenient place to set the bike. I imagine most businesses don't want me leaning it up against their windows, and a parked car is probably a bad idea, too. So yeah... I put this kickstand on it. And I gotta say... sometimes you just marvel at how an item so well-made can be so inexpensive. Seriously, this kickstand is solid and beefy. The effort to put it down and up is substantial, I have very little fear it's going to just plop down on its own even if I'm riding a rough trail. And even if somehow it did, I think I'm fine taking my chances. If you don't see any more reviews from me after this one, you'll know the odds weren't in my favor and I succumbed to a catastrophic kickstand malfunction demise. But for now, while I'm still alive and kicking... I am impressed with this item. I painted the bolts black as my OCD couldn't stand them being silver on a black kickstand, put it on the bike, and cinched the bolts down really really tight. Very solid and should stay put just fine. Will update if it doesn't. My mtb is a 29er, and at its longest extension this kickstand works great. The bike is just a smidge down from upright, and the wheel can be turned either way and it doesn't want to fall over. But you could shorten the extension some if you wanted the bike to have more lean. The finish and "ratcheting" action are both really good, as I said earlier surprised this thing only costs like $13. Seems a much higher end product than that price would imply. So... the downsides. Only one, really... and that's people's reactions when they see I have a kickstand on a mountain bike. Little kids run behind me and laugh and call me a noob. Cars driving by will roll down their windows and cackle and point at me. And other mountain bikers? Forget about it. They avoid eye contact at all costs and turn their noses up and look the other way, as if I'd offer them French's Mustard when they asked for Grey Poupon. Oh well... what are ya gonna do? If you're in the market for a frame mounted kickstand for whatever kind of bike you have, I can whole-heartedly recommend this one. At least so far, obviously longevity will take time to discover but I don't see any reason based on its build quality to be worried in that department.

This bike stand works great!

Works as expected, stays out of the way and mounted pretty stable on the Ozark Ridge.

This is a good, sturdy kickstand for bikes that do NOT have a round chain stay where the stand attaches. I have these on two bikes. It works well on the one that has oval chain stays. It does not stay in place on the other bike with round chain stays no matter how tightly you attach it. It holds the bike up, but I have to push it down into the correct position nearly every time I use it. One of the two I bought had scraped paint. Not bad enough to return, but not "like new." It did not come with bolts long enough to attach to the second bike, so I had to find longer ones at the hardware store.

Nice and solid, super simple to fit with a standard Allen key (not supplied), adjustable height is a nice feature. Good value for money and very happy with the product.

ottimo cavaletto veramente ben fatto,veloce e facile da montare stretto bene al carro posteriore rende molto stabile la bici anche in leggera salita la regolazione dell' altezza è semplice e funzionale tutto con 1 click è molto snello bello da vedere essenziale con una perfetta molla di ritorno che anche scendendo gradinj o percorrendo strade ciottolate lo rende stabile evitando che saltelli o si abbassi accidentalmente!ovviamente se il carro della vostra bici ha una sagoma squadrata sarà ancora meglio come sicurezza di fissaggio rimanendo perfettamente ancorato e bloccato! Consiglio l'acquisto!!!

Well fit. Strong kickstand.

Beroende på ramens form kan det var svårt att dra åt så att det verkligen sitter. Jag lade klippt trädgårdsslang imellan och drog fast den. Den har vikt sig en gång, sen gjorde jag om samma igen och nu verkar den sitta bra.

Después de buscar por cielo, mar y tierra este "soporte de bicicleta" yo lo llamo pie de descanso para mi bicicleta rodada 29 y no encontrarlo en la ciudad de México lo encontré en Amazon y es realmente perfecto, materiales, instalación y resistencia. Lo único que le falto es que dentro del producto incluyan alguna tira de caucho dentado para que al instalarlo no se dañe la pintura del cuadro de la bicicleta, yo afortunadamente tengo tiras de otros productos que he comprado y que instale en el manubrio. Por cierto, no duden en comprarlo si su bicicleta es rodada 29 ya que le queda perfecto sin problema. En la especificación indica que esa hasta rodada 28 pero le queda perfecto a la rodada 29
