Ventura Standard Bicycle Kickstand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought I would get this cheap kickstand so I could hold up my new mountain bike. Because it installs next to the rear wheel, the pedals/crank can move while the kickstand is down, for adding chain lube, or checking the gear/chain alignment.
The install was no problem. In fact, while down, it works as I was expecting. The problem is when it is up while riding, it does not stay up when going over bumps & rocks. Over a short time, the kickstand slowly works it's way to the down position. This seems like a safety issue, since it can catch on stuff. More importantly, it makes you look stupid while people point to your kickstand and tell you, "Hey, your kickstand is down!"

Sunlite Double Kickstand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Mounts easily in standard kickstand mountings. comes wiht one long and one short screw. At first glance I though it would hang down too low. but it is low enought not to interfere wiht the chain, and high enough so it does not pose a risk of dragging on the ground.
I purchased this because I have dual baskets on the rear and the factory kickstand makes it easy to tip over. This makes a nice 3 point stand - much like a center mount motorcycle kickstand. This is the exact item I was looking for and it performs as expected.

Made for the bicycles that have a kickstand mounting plate attached to the frame. If your bike does not have a mounting plate then you will need a kickstand top plate.

Greenfield Stabilizer rear mount kickstand, black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is nice to find a product that is made in the USA! The product is sturdy, easy to install and uncomplicated.
However, this product did not fit my bike due to the fact that the disc brakes are in the way, making a good fit difficult if not impossible for this particular kickstand/stabilizer.
There were no instructions and, even though there are very few parts, I think that everyone would like to know if they are installing it correctly or not. Even a photo would help.

Topeak FlashStand Slim Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I bought my expensive road bike, I had a my hybrid bike and put a kickstand on this bike. Face it, kickstands are PRACTICAL. There are too many places where you get off the bike, but there is nowhere to stand the bike, except on the ground.
I bought a road bike a few months back, and alas, no kickstand. I had difficulty standing it against things, and people kept telling me that I shouldn't lay it on the ground. Enter the flashstand! Now, when I go for a ride, I bring it, and when I need to get off my bike voila - instant kickstand!
The flashstand is lightweight and compact. It folds up into about a 6 inch strip, so you can just put in your bento bag or pocket.
When I went to my local bike store, one of the employees saw me using it, and he ran up to me, asked to borrow it, and showed it to his manager (they don't sell the flashstand at this store).
I do not know of any other contraption that would allow me to have a kickstand on my carbon frame bike, so I'm pleased with the flashstand.
True, what they say - it's not compatible with all bikes. I have a Madone 5.1 WSD and it works fine with this. According to the manufacturer, it is compatible with "Shimano? Dura Ace, Ultegra or 105 non-drive side crank arm with a dimension of 35mm x 80mm to securely hold a 700c road bike".
Somone also mentioned stability as an issue. It is not as stable as a good kickstand, but it's workable. When using it, there is better stability if you turn the front wheel in the opposite direction of the side the flashstand is located.
All in all.....for me, it's a must have, and I give it a 4 of 5 stars.

Greenfield SKS2B 285mm Stabilizer Rear Stay-Mount, Black Aluminum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Received the kickstand yesterday, installed within 15 minutes. It is pretty intuitive to install, or you can just look at the product picture to figure it out. The quality of the machined parts is very good. The paint or powder coating is high quality, and the 285mm length was just right for my 56 size frame. I bought this style because my bike has the shift cable coming up through the frame where a normal kickstand would go. Only downside is that it seems a little heavier than 340 grams. Of course that does not matter much since I am not after the lightest bike possible, and the weight is carried very low. No more leaning the bike against a picnic table and wondering if it will stay!
