Lumintrail Center Mount Bike Double Leg Kickstand - Adjustable Height Kick Stands for 24, 26, 27.5, 29 Inch Adult Bicycles - Perfect for Cruiser, Road and Hybrids

I purchased this kickstand for my Specialized Crosstrail which I use for bike packing. I had grown tired of always needing to search out a tree or a post against which to lean the fully loaded bike. A conventional one leg kickstand was out of the question since the associated lean to the side would insure that the loaded bike would fall over. This kickstand was the perfect solution as the double leg feature allows the bike to stay in a vertical orientation. Moreover, the independently adjustable legs (accomplished by pushing in a release button and sliding the leg in or out) accommodate uneven ground. The aluminum kickstand is well made and quite sturdy. It was easy to install without modification and does not interfere with operation of the Crosstrail when in the "up position." Several of my bike packing friends have expressed an interest in this stand due to its features and competitive pricing. Well done, Lumintrail. Five Stars! UPDATED REVIEW- I wanted to continue to like it, I really did. As one can see from the above review, I was impressed with the stand out of the box and on the bike. Unfortunately, the stand did not meet my expectations in practical use. I just returned from a 4 day bikepacking trip on the C&O Canal where wet and muddy conditions were encountered. Upon departure, the stand was as tight as I dared make it, however, during the course of the trip, the stand became loose, twisted and hung lower and lower. It appears that some type of compression washer disintegrated as the stand was repeated engaged. This could probably be fixed, however, the adjustable legs are no longer adjustable as they appear to be frozen in their sleeves. Moreover, unless the loaded bike was perfectly balanced, the stand was not stable enough to keep the bike from several ugly falls. Perhaps I expected more of the stand than it could deliver. If it is your intent to use the stand on an unloaded bike and in reasonably dry and clean conditions, then you will probably be happy with it. In my case, real life application has shown some shortcomings and I am searching for a better solution. THREE STARS AT BEST

Awesome upgrade from the useless stock kickstands that come standard on most bikes. Solid build, looks good & functions perfectly on mine. Sits on its feet & leans slightly on the front tire, so you can spin the rear freely for maintenance. Good clearance from tire, chain, & cranks. Locks tightly in both up & down positions. Very happy!

There are several things I like about this kickstand. Having said that, let me be clear about one thing: it is not rugged, and I fully expect it to break pretty soon, but that's okay. The good: the mounting bracket looks pretty sturdy, and I expect that it will last for a long time. The leg extension system works well, and is quite intuitive. Right now, this thing is supporting my moped wonderfully. The bad: there is no way that the plastic teeth on the leg extensions and the little pieces of spring steel wire that notch into them are going to hold up over time. The spring mechanism that swings the stand up and down does not operate under a whole lot of spring tension, and I expect that this will give out soon enough. The redemption: the metal legs that the plastic extensions slide onto are hollow, and will perfectly fit appropriate lengths of 3/8 inch mild steel rod inside of them, sliding telescopically as if they were made for it. When these plastic pieces of s*** break, I will simply replace them with set screw secured custom cut lengths of 3/8 inch steel rod, which is one of my favorite fabricating material that I always have on hand. I can also fabricate a pin system that will hold the stand up if the spring mechanism breaks. I suppose this is a sort of faint praise, but for me, the stand is great. If you use your bike a lot, however, and aren't into metal work as a hobby, you may be disappointed at the longevity of this item.

First of all it needs to be like 3 in wider on each side because it's totally unstable in the bike just tipped over all the time at the slightest provocation secondly it doesn't close nearly far enough so it practically drags on the ground if you extend the feet far enough to do their job and thirdly it opens way too far so that the feet don't sit flat on the ground like they're designed they sit at this crazy angle and then on top of that it doesn't stay tight no matter what you do it keeps coming loose I mean not like once in awhile but like literally every few minutes you know he used it once and he go to kick it back and it's loose and the thing up in the top that that you put the bolt through to hold it in place swivels around so it rubs against your will and the kickstand swivels to the side one way or the other so you end up with it rubbing against your back tire and when you try to straighten it it just Jiggles around so yeah I go get an allen wrench and tighten it down again and it just literally doesn't stay tight it's useless if I didn't know better I'd say it was made by a dyslexic drunk monkey with only two fingers who deliberately sabotaged it. Don't buy this piece of junk you'd be better off duct tape in a freaking stick to the side of your bike for a kickstand

Very strong for my heavy E-Bike. Like it!
