BVBike Kickstand, Ebike Heavy Duty, Center Mount Bicycle Stand - Length Adjustable, Foldable Double Leg for 24"-28" Bikes

I had to offset by 1 inch left and drill another hole in the aluminum mounting plate of my frame for this stand to fit past my 4 inch tires when in the up position. This had only a small affect in that the bike slightly off center when up on the stand but clearing nicely when the stand is retracted. To reiterate, centerline hole did not work and I was bummed. This stand however really looked right to me, plenty sturdy, by far the best design I've seen, and I did not want give up. I did some grade school math and realized the offset would still keep the stand and bike up just fine and indeed that's how it turned out. I drilled a new mounting hole and, wow, it really works well. It's still a fairly top heavy load so care must be taken in using the stand but it stands my bike up just fine. I take care to pick the bike up by it's rear rack both when seating on the stand and when flipping it up. I also take care to not abuse it by sitting on it while on the stand. It already has enough to hold up. I am very happy with this kickstand. It operates well when off weighted and appears to be more robust around the axle than any other cast stand I've bought. And I've bought more than three.So yes, it is a fine wye stand. It snaps up and down without complaint. It balances my long tall and heavy ebike (although it is out on the last adjustment for leg length) well. Oh, and put some lube on it, it really needed it out of the box.

I bought this for my 2019 Jamis Renegade Expat (the green bike in the photos). This definitely won't fit the Jamis or probably any other bike with both the things the red arrows in the photo are pointing to. That pulley thing for the front geart mounted that low along with that little cross bar (I'm assuming that's a rear fender mount) leaves place to attach this kickstand. So if your bike looks like this down there, you are out of luck!I then tried this on our Specialized Roubaix (like 2010-ish) and am not sure that will work either. As you can see in the photo, it BARELY clears the pedal arm. To get it to clear at all, I had to attach it much closer to the rear tire than I'd like, and I had to turn the bottom part of the bracket a bit, so the top and bottom parts of the attachment clamp are not mounted square to each other. Though that doesn't seem to be a problem, as it still seems to be really firmly on there. We'll have to do a test ride but my guess is that our left heal will bump this kickstand when riding and we'll want to take it off. But the only reason I'm attaching this to a light road bike is we are currently using it with a trail-a-bike (shown in pic). It's a pain to always need to lean that setup against something and these double stands that let you mount vertically is a good solution since leaning all that weight over on a single kickstand isn't very stable. This stand with that trail-a-bike IS very stable.So why five stars when it didn't work for us? Well it's a fantastic design, really easy to install and use, and seems rock solid. I'm not sure what the designer could have done differently to make this a true 'universal' fit for all bikes but it'll fit most bikes well. I'm disappointed it won't fit my Jamis, I was hoping there was enough clearance under that pulley but I was wrong, not this design's fault. For the other bike, no one would normally put a bulky kickstand like this on a road racing bike. I'm not going to penalize the manufacturer for not making this thing more narrow for road bikes, that would probably mean it wouldn't be as stable for the 98% of bikes this is likely to be used on, which are hybrids and touring bikes. Though my Jamis Renegade IS kind of a touring bike, and if that pulley thing is becoming widely used, that may necessitate a design update.

General Impression: A clever design along with excellent build quality. Provides good stability in either lateral directions. In my case, I park my bike on hard surfaces like concrete or decking. Some have complained of compromised stability on soft or grassy surfaces; I’m sure that’s true but I’ve never seen any kickstand that was stable on that type of terrain, especially sloping.Installation: Installation is straightforward and requires little time. Hardware is provided to accommodate the two most common mountings. If your bike has a bottom mounting plate with a standard-size hole, then just use the shorter of the two socket-head screws. If yours is the other type (no bottom plate), you will need to use the provided top-plate along with the longer screw; this creates a “sandwich” clamp.When extended, the two legs of the stand form an A-frame (see photo); each leg has its own adjustable foot. For best results you should select a foot position that, when the stand is extended, will lift the rear wheel slightly - creating a tripod effect (front wheel plus two-legged stand) for maximum stability. In my case, the factory set leg adjustment was correct, right out of the box. (My bike is a 27.5 inch with medium frame.)Performance/Function: With a conventional kick-stand, either actuation or retraction can be accomplished by leaning the bike away from you, etc. This is not the case with this stand. You will need to lift the rear wheel slightly to allow both feet of the stand to clear the ground sufficiently in order to retract the stand with your foot. Some may find this awkward but in my opinion, I find this a small price to pay for the stability and one other bonus… One of the features that attracted me to this stand was the ability to service the rear wheel by allowing it to "free-wheel" when the stand is extended. This makes for easy servicing of the front and rear derailleurs and so forth. When retracted, the stand folds neatly out of the way with plenty of ground clearance (see photo). All in all, I am very pleased with this stand; oh, and the price was reasonable.
