Review on 🚲 Enhance Your Cycling Experience: Greenfield KS2S Bicycle Kickstand with Retro Kit by Charles Dean

This is a really good stand. The app was on the 2013 Diamondback Steilacoom CCX. The footpegs were not included with the bike. Much more convenient to have a stand. The big problem was removing the front derailleur cable that was coming out from under the bottom bracket. Almost all descriptions of footrests make little or no mention of dimensions. The potential buyer is completely at a loss and not sure if the stand is the right fit. For all readers considering purchasing this stand, here are the measurements: • The length of the pivot leg is 12-1/2 inches measured from the center of the pivot point to the end. • Available in 1-1/4 inch. fall from the bottom plate, which is attached under the chainstay, to the center of the hinge. • The base plate is 1.154 inches wide and 2.316 inches long. • The top plate (which attaches to the top of the chainstay) is roughly the same size as the bottom plate. • Each top panel notch is approximately 5/8" x 3/8". • Screw with cover is 2.219 inches long. Thread 5/16 x 18NF. The shank is about an inch long. It uses a ¼ inch hex. The knurling on the head is bad. It came with two 5/16" split washers. Only one puck is needed. • The knurled top plate has a thick spigot about 11/16" long that is threaded to hold the bolt. The bolt comes out from under the bike.(Bottom plate is threaded for larger bolts and other applications.) The manufacturer states on the bag that "the stand can be shortened to optimize the angle of the bike" what I did. The manufacturer recommends mounting the bike on shims to find the optimum angle, and then removing it. In my case, the spacer was 2-1/4". I included a Greenfield rubber foot to help to determine the optimal angle. I removed the difference. Also file the end to the same profile as the removed end so it fits properly in the foot. I highly recommend using petroleum jelly when fitting the foot to the foot .if you If you don't, you will regret not having your leg removed. In my case, the top plate attaches to the chainstay at an angle of about 30 degrees from perpendicular to an imaginary alignment line that runs through the center of the rear wheel and frame. . The bottom plate is installed perpendicular to this line. The curved stem stows neatly under the chainstay tube without the crank getting in the way. The real problem is adjusting the top plate to release the derailleur cable. After installing the footplate assembly as described in the previous paragraph, I marked the location of the cable with a thick white marker and then removed the assembly. I used a coarse 1/4" round file to remove enough material so that the cable was 1/32" to 1/16" clear all the way around. This required several rehearsals. The use of a bicycle assembly stand is mandatory. Be sure to use the Velcro to attach the front wheel to the down tube.
