Kickstand. Anyone tried this one?

[2door]

Found this and it looks like something I'd like to try. My old one is wearing out, keeps falling down, and I'd like a dual stand. Just curious if anyone here has experience with this unit.

I liked it until I saw the price .

I wore out my bicycle in a years heavy motorized use.
My roadmaster Mt fury cost $39.00 last year.
Around January.
I would rather replace the bike.

I have never tried one like that but maybe the links will help you out.

Thanks guys. Yeah, the price is a little steep, I'll agree. I'll look around here locally and see what I can come up with. I'm getting tired of that 'click, click, clcik noise from my old stand when my pedals hit it when it drops down while riding. I keep kicking it back up but the bumps keep knocking it down again. I tried tightening the spring tension but that didn't help much. I like the idea of a dual stand; makes it possible to kick start the engine in the garage for tuning and stuff. I have work stand that I built but its too heavy to carry around.
I'll let you know what I come up with.

Well one thing I can say is having a kick stand like that should make it much easier to change a rear flat on the road.

I had a heck of a time and to this day I still have the same kick stand

Oh wow, Fair,
That second photo looks like something you'd find abandoned on the side of the road.
I hope at least that you had wrenches with you.
Did you see my post about using model airplane propellers for tire tools? They work great. I have a couple that work better than any tool I've tried. You need the big ones, 18 / 20 inch props and the carbon composite ones are better than wood. I know a lot of guys use their fingers but the propellers make the job much easier on the finger tips.

I always have the right tools when I ride. I've been riding long enough to know to prepare for anything. Especially the long rides I take in the middle of no where.

But, yes I have seen your thread....I still use my fingers even if I carry the right tool for the job. Being a auto tech for so many years changing a tire with my fingers is no big deal.

Having engines front and rear on "The Iron Dragon", I REALLY need a good bikestand. First I used the rear stand and a block of wood. When that failed, I used the rear stand AND a center stand with adjustable leg. The center stand's casting broke, so I rremoved both stands and installed this:

BICYCLE ALLOY DOUBLE KICKSTAND 26" CRUISER BRAND NEW - eBay (item 160291947326 end time Oct-20-08 09:52:03 PDT)

This seems to work well 95% of the time, but I've caught my bike a few times as it was falling.

The lamp posts, tree trunks and locking cable are my friends.

I need a rear hoop stand but I don't wanna put my fender back.

HOWEVER...I've ALWAYS used a tether rope to tie my right handlebar grip to the seatpost. Having a front engine offset friction drive, the bike will definitely fall without the rope.

When the rope's not in use, I coil one end tightly around my teardrop tank's filler neck.

5-7,
That thing looks beefy enough but will it fold up without hitting the crank sprocket or chain? The one I posted folds to the left side when in the up position for that reason.
