Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this kickstand for my wife's full-suspension Specialized Ground Control mountain bike. The bike uses two oval aluminum wheelstay arms (swingarms) pivoting very close to the boss for the seat upright post, and a shock absorber mounted just where the top tube and seat upright meet. There is also a pivot point just forward of the rear axle dropout. These pivot points limited the options for various kickstand designs; this model was by far the best solution. It took three hands to install, one to hold the stand up to the mounting point, one to hold the bicycle, one to thread and tighten the hardware. If you have a bicycle work stand the install will be much simpler.
The adjustment barrel does a sweet job of providing the leg length adjustment. I'm very happy with the design, though I expect it could be made a little lighter and I'm a little worried about metal fatigue of the aluminum wheelstay arms, hence the four, rather than five, stars.
