Thanks for the demo. I bought my granddaughter a 16" girls bike; it did not have a kickstand so we the Concord kickstand (looked identical to Bells). The illustration really helped and the bolt adjusted nicely for the height! Appreciate you! Kay

[@GanderFlight]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching Kay

Thanks, @GanderFlight ! My Trek FX the dealer had to add a kickstand and that was back in 2016. I just bought a new Univega 27.5" Weekend Escape 2.0 Step-Thru, and their entire line does not come with kickstands--UGH. It's crazy to think that any owner will not at some point need to park their bike to do nearly any old thing to it which is impossible without one.

[@GanderFlight]

Right?!

I also bought this aftermarket kick stand the silver one it also comes in black and it's good ..I don't have to put my bike down on ground anymore as I also care about my bike paint I always retouch my paint everytime i get a scratch

[@GanderFlight]

Kickstands sure are handy!

[@grumpycyclist3319]

Good video! Im having trouble fitting a chain stay mounted type kickstand to my mountain bike. Ordered this one from your store.

[@GanderFlight]

They've performed well for us -hope you have the same experience!

[@grumpycyclist3319]

@@GanderFlight it worked well and it was very easy to install.

[@johngalvin6010]

Good video. I bought my 20" city folder with a fitted kickstand and that was too long, this was straight from the manufacturer!

[@GanderFlight]

Thats a major bummer! Maybe you could just grind it off or use a hacksaw to shorten it?

[@rhoodj]

Less weight to ship and option to sell them separately to make money. I was wondering about the pros and cons of those cheaper rear kickstands?

[@GanderFlight]

Sorry, I don’t know

[@tanzil-solocyclist]

It depends on the BB drop. More drop means shorter length is adequate and vice versa. It has less to do with frame size or wheel size.

[@GanderFlight]

I'm not familiar with "BB drop" can you explain that shorthand more please?

[@jjgaming9041]

Thank you so much

[@GanderFlight]

You're most welcome

[@godschild5587]

my bike mechanic tighten it to the point that made the frame flat, i was there when he installed it, is that normal to tighten it up till the frame become flat?

[@GanderFlight]

It was tubular and is now flat...? Sounds like they crushed it to me.

[@fluttirishy4432]

Thank you! Very helpful.

You're welcome!

[@rhoodj]

SATAWAY vs Bell Blazer 300? Wich one is the best?

[@GanderFlight]

Never heard of the Sataway so I can’t comment on that.

[@ChannelStonie]

Just cut pole and use the plastic foot it come with, don't need bolt then .

[@GanderFlight]

The bolt is more durable and requires no cutting.

[@protaciomagbanua8382]

Really helpful video! Ps. The frame of your bike looks super sturdy, especially around the forks! Which model is it?

[@GanderFlight]

You're welcome! That one is a Vitus bike.

[@peternguyen9333]

What if I am left footed

[@GanderFlight]

What if you are? I've never seen a kickstand on the right side of a bike - so youd probably have to make something custom to fit around the gears and chain on the other side.

Good I’m glad!

Wow, Great Hack my friend!! OORAH

Enjoy! Thanks for watching.

Because people don't want added weight to their bikes so they come w/o kickstands. Also MTB and BMX bad idea having a kickstand because when you are flying thru the air if it goues to the down position and you land on it you can have serious problems.

[@GanderFlight]

I highly doubt weight is the driving factor. I guess the kickstand dropping down could be a factor, but Ive never had an issue with that. Itd be better to come with one that users can take off than needing to add aftermarket.

​@@GanderFlight - He might be saying that manufacturers are trying to save on money by not including a kickstand (and some amount of people will buy a kick stand from the same company maybe if they sell them separately). This doesn't answer why everyone seems to take off their own kickstands, though. I think it's 99% a cool-factor thing, along with "dork-disks" and people not wanting a chainguard that decreases maintenance by a lot. Then we have the super speedy road bike users who are trying to cut down on weight, either for speed, or for the bike to feel a certain way when riding. Just reading reddit now... it seems the consensus is that it's kind of pointless for most types of bikes. They lock their bike up to something anyway, or just lean their bike on something or even put it on the ground. Kick stands can scratch paint and they don't want it to tip over, and bla bla.
