Review on BV Adjustable Bicycle Kickstand: Concealed Spring-Latch for 24-29 Inch Bike – Ultimate Stability and Convenience! by Robert Ryokan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Fastening material is not as shown.

I have no issues with the stand itself; it can be good or bad. I haven't had time to test it yet. The problem is with the supplied mounting screw. The photo clearly shows that the longer screw should be a hex screw. It's not like this. This is a button head screw with a recessed hex head. This change makes it impossible to mount it securely on my Trek bike, since the gear cable is mounted directly above the footrest. There is no gap to allow the use of a hex key. It could easily be secured with a regular key on the side. I should also mention that they painted the threads on the stud making it difficult to put on. And the hex key required (they don't supply one) is clearly metric and large. I have about three dozen hex keys of various sizes and none fit properly. If you don't have the exact size you need, brace yourself for a lot of unnecessary frustration.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
