Review on Defary Removable Kickstand Stainless Material by Marcus Akram

Zowie-kazowie, if this thing isn't an engineering genius, then this thing doesn't exist; Dreams of Sugar Plum Defari; Whoever designed it should be rewarded with a prize and a lifetime honorarium. I've had nothing but trouble finding the perfect stand, and while this may not be perfect for every scenario, such as perhaps finding a more paw-friendly spot for his situationally tactilely desirable dactyl. It may not fit your ride, as does my purr, fits like a formal gloved bike, cat pajamas - Madame Olmo, aka Aunt Beatrice (read: Dante); In the name of Cripes Sake, the clip-on holder slides effortlessly and so delicately under her downtube bottle cage, hiding any mota from the side of the Olmo saddle. tidies up nicely and looks pretty cool half hidden under its O2 Cool hydraulics. Installation couldn't be easier - why, I'll hollow it out for even a practiced allen wrench to fit. Defari has the foresight to add a 4 photo guide for those who are not too visually impaired. There are only two or three variables that border on long-term problems because no one needs to see you doing something wrong and losing their gift. :1.) Never treat this device as a pantaloon kick, a happy slap in the face of the rough-rider (note: dispel this myth and legend of the top of Teddy San Juan Hill); It's well made, but delicate by definition, so show some goddamn respect. And 2.) Think about how you can expand the footprint a bit. Don't throw away those galoshes or anything else to shout out loud. , or so. Happy Holidazed, Swan Viaduct* Designed by FA (Footprint Assistant) looks like this: A. Take the plastic lid off the coffee can; Note how thin and flexible its 3D is, and B. Find something grippy to techturalize both sides of the cover surface - options include the thick contact plastic they use for pickup truck body liners - you can get a free sample, when you go to the SUV store. and just be nice - andC. Using the cover as a template, cut out pieces for each side - one to better grip the parking surface, one to better hold the footpeg support - glue or glue/otherwise customize and D. Bob is your uncle. UPDATE: To confirm my impression, I bought a second Defary for Skalliwag, my late 90's US made don'taskdon'ttell; You took your time with the deadline - Scully has been on hibernation lately - but opted for a free 2-day - A'zon is serious, serious - instead of taking your time and reducing your carbon footprint. Shipping, not wanting the Defary package to be hijacked by all that other stuff, that with all that celebratory weight; So - I'm not infallible here either - I very much doubt that I would have done that if I hadn't fundamentally had a good opinion of this attitude. appears to be a small engineering marvel - Read: too cool for most of us to hang from, although it might not be heavy - it's a hard plastic piece that attaches to a bike frame, to a hex for a water bottle. nut placement so fragile that it can no longer stand when in use; This factor could be improved if the attachment piece is made of a softer, more pliable silicone-like polymer (?) or maybe not placed a bottle cage on it as recommended (?). If desired, a plastic frame will fit, although there was some bumps on this road, probably due to language and cultural differences. Just carry the magic marker sized footboard in your bike pannier or backpack.
