Greenfield 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!

Not usually a big fan of kickstands on adult bicycles.....however I've mellowed in my old age. I recently installed these on 2 of my Trek hybrid bikes. They work great and don't detract from the looks of the bikes. They're reasonably priced and American made. Get some!

I really like the build quality it's sturdy

I installed Greenfields as a teen working in a bike shop and now find myself adding them to kids' bikes. They work well, are simple. and installation is fairly straightforward. Do note that you will need a hacksaw to trim on anything other than an XL 29er (not common). When trimmed, the alloy metal is sharp and really needs the rubber foot to prevent damage to epoxy floors or legs. One could subsequently file the alloy a bit to smooth some but tip works best and provides more stability.

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 value fit perfect.. had to cut off 1" simple

Ordered the 305mm model, as I did not know the required length and wanted to have extra material to remove as opposed to it not being long enough. In the end, I could have gotten away with the 285mm version. Anyways, I ended up cutting this down to 280 after some measuring and estimating to factor in for the rubber foot I purchased separately (made by Greenfield for this model). One note: the diameter of the kickstand is consistent in any place you would reasonably cut it. So I installed the foot on this before cutting it down and it fit the same afterwards. There are lines to help with measurements and the necessary angled cut. This is soft aluminum, so with a mini-hacksaw the process was very simple. You do end up with some sharp edges if you have to shorten this, so I beveled the edges with a file and highly recommend this extra step for safety. Total time to cut down and bevel was probably 10 minutes. My bicycle has the plate for a kickstand brazed on, but given that the bolt is so long and it comes with the top plate, I chose to install as pictured using all parts. Installation is very easy; my socket wouldn't clear in such a cramped area, so an open ended 9/16 wrench was all I needed to put this on. Highly recommended.

As a owner of 6 bicycles, 5 of them Mtb and one road-like, and an avid kickstand user, I have encountered kickstand issues from being too short or weak- making a bike fall over, or damaging to my bike, or in the way of pedaling. But I now have Greenfields on 3 of my bikes, and they are all great! I did install them tightening first lightly, to check position to avoid tire rubbing, or pedal strikes, before I tightened them very securely. I have not cut one shorter, but since they're aluminum and have length lines, I could do so with marking a shorter length, and cutting w/ a metal saw. And I test the balancing on different levels, as you don't always park on a flat area. They do have a slender foot, so if used on soft ground, I see that could be an issue. If that happens to me, I'll probably zip tie a short rubber hose to the bottom.

EASY INSTALL..WAS A BIT LONG FOR BIKE SO CUT OFF APPROPRIATE PIECE ..WORKS GREAT...RECOMMEND

Todas mis bicicletas habidas y por haber lo tendran, soporte de calidad lo mejor en el mercado

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
