Review on Carbon Kickstand Portable Ultralight 27 5Er by Donald Waller

Revainrating 3 out of 5

the best in cycling, tried and tested

I love the idea of this footboard. Light stand, meets my needs. It's light, easy to store, easy to use, and my bikes stand up when everyone else is in the mud or leaning on some sort of support. After 2 years of use this is a problem. The axle mount support bracket has a tendency to rotate, requiring the axle to be loosened and the bracket reinstalled. I wish this brace had multiple teeth to hold it in place. The second more serious issue is that the top pocket that fits into the mount has ripped and is no longer usable. It seems to me that there is an insert in the "pocket" that is not securely fastened and if this part is lost it will break the carbon fiber material. So I have 3 bikes with this stand. I am aware of the shortcomings. I will change other 2nd and get great useful product. That's a great idea, it just needs a little more development.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic
