🚲 Enhance Stability and Convenience with the Bell Sports Bracer 300 Bicycle Kick Stand Review

As someone else said it wasn't short enough for 16" wheels but I removed the rubber foot and it works fine. It stands by foot but not very strong, even a slight bump will topple the bike. In general, for such a price will suffice. If you want the perfect fit for under 16 bikes, go for 100 instead of 300. Back then, 100 was double that, so we can live with a kickstand without the little rubber foot.

Rugged construction. I had a Bracer 100 on a 16" bike and this one on a 20" bike. It makes a very stable impression, but is not heavy. Installation was easy, just poutine over the fork behind the pedal and screw. I never thought this was an aftermarket product. That's really high quality. I tried it on a 16" REI Co-op Rev 16 but it barely works. The bike has little room to lean against so if the wind blows it the other side. So maybe not suitable for 16" bikes .

Other reviewers said they fit the smallest bike sizes. Well, partially they can. We put them on a 12" bike and two 16" bikes. On the 12" and one of the 16" I had to remove the inside of the footpeg (with the rubber plug) to get the stand low enough to support the bike. This worked well on a 16 inch bike with no stoppers. On a 12 inch bike, the bike needs to be rotated properly and the footrest needs to be angled slightly to support the bike.

This is a great kickstand IF you are buying it for a 19" or larger bike (probably an 18" bike). BUT don't believe their claims that it fits 16" bikes (unless you remove the rubber foot extension and want a kickstand with a bare metal edge!). To add to the confusion, the seller annoyingly listed their models as more like color - / Style options available as individual products. The 300 is designed for 19" and up and comes with an internal spring and an upgraded rubber foot. The Bell 100 fits…

Inexpensive for a kickstand. I'm buying one for a kid and suddenly my other kids want one. So now I have three coasters. Everything arrived in perfect condition, easy to install and works perfectly. It works great with 19" and 24" wheels, but I had to install it on the smallest bike without the rubber stand. The bike was listed as 16 inches but I think the wheels are closer to 15.5 inches. The kickstand is too big for a bike this size unless you remove the extension. I tried putting another…

Let me first say that I'm not the type of person to write a lot of reviews, both positive and negative. But it was so cumbersome to buy and install that it should take less than 5 minutes. This is a solid and well constructed stand that is mis-sold. WARNING it will not work with a 16" bike. This is the second Bell Bracer I have bought. I first bought a Bell Bracer 300 because they said it would work with 16" wheels, I had to returning because it didn't fit. I don't understand how this stand can
