The stand is like a motor bike's centre stand and the stability of the bike when parked is excellent. Even when heavily loaded the bike can't unbalance. It weighs 542g but no matter if you are touring or using it on a regular shopping run, the practical applications outshine the weight penalty. Folds away to one side, when not in use. Superb quality, you'll be lost without it.FeaturesWeight: 542g290mm recommended for 26"/27.5320mm recommended for 700C/29"Max Load: 25kgDie cast aluminium ConstructionColour: powder coated black / metallic silverCentral supportPivoting movement over springIncludes fitting screw and washerIncludes optional mounting top platesCompatible with F24 Rubber foot (not included) Review: Stand Fast. Stand Firm. - I was introduced to this twin leg kickstand after buying a very large and heavy bike with one already fitted. So this is my second. Its very simple to master the kick down (of the stand) and pull (of the bike,) up and onto the stand. For a heavy, twin pannier laden bike, there is no peer to this kickstand. It's tough and strong, rated conservatively to support 25kg. There are, I believe two models- they differ in length. I brought the long one, at 290mm- far too long as it turned out for my 700c wheel and 19" frame needs. You too may need to cut it down to your perfect hight... a simple hacksaw job - the legs are marked for easy, identical reduction. Be sensible, cut off less than you think you need to start with... You will need to get used to the 'left hand side' parking mechanism...it folds BOTH legs very neatly together and locates them to the left side. It's seriously substantial and will take a lot of knocks, being solid metal. Definitely NOT hollow- as my hacksaw work testifies! I rate it very highly for solid surface parking of my bike. Not so good for gravel or grass, which the legs tend to penetrate. I believe Pletscher make rubber end caps specially for them- useful if you are parking on , say, a soft tarmac drive or on your nice wooden hall floor. Just lift the bike up slightly again and kick the stand backaway. It folds up, snaps straight back into its stowage position and you are off. The very simple but equally tough folding mechanism seem to shrug off muck and is easily hosed clean after my off road mudbaths. IN A NUTSHELL :- Solid support! Review: Very neat, watch clearance - I built a singlespeed from a CycloX for dropping my kid to school. I needed a stand to keep the bike standing while I put him in his seat and got things ready. This does its job well. Very sturdy feeling, and built like a tank (and weighs as much!). It folds away really well too. The clearance between my frame:stand:wheel is extremely tight. Worth keeping in mind. I also cut the stand to length as it was too long to begin with. But this is expected and they mark measurements on the stand for this purpose. Very quick and easy. Main gripe is that they should include some rubber feet for grip. That being said I don't find I need them, but it would make it more secure if they were there. ## Features - Superior Stability with Twin-Leg Design - Engineered with a two-leg mechanism that supports the bike evenly, the stand keeps your bike upright and balanced—ideal for heavy loads, panniers, child carriers, or trailers - Centre-Mounted for Floor-Level Support - Mounts securely to the bottom bracket area of the frame using a spring-loaded pivot, lifting the rear wheel slightly and offering motorcycle-style stability on any surface - Durable Die-Cast Aluminium Construction - Crafted from rugged aluminium die-cast material with a corrosion-resistant powder coating, and featuring hardened steel components for lasting performance in all conditions - Universal Fit & Sizing Options - Available in two optimized lengths—290mm (for 26″–27.5″ wheels) and 320mm (for 700C – 29″)—supporting a maximum load of 25kg, suitable for touring, e bikes, and utility bikes - Folds Away Neatly While Riding - The spring-biased legs fold to one side when not in use, ensuring they stay tucked safely without interfering with pedalling or bike handling ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004XFHSE4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 98,802 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 99 in Bike Kickstands | | Bike type | Electric Bike | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (120) | | Date First Available | 19 Sept. 2012 | | Department | Men's | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07612616057144 | | Included components | fixing bolt kit, x1 Kickstand | | Item model number | 51488 | | Material type | Aluminium | | Number of items | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 34.2 x 15.2 x 6.2 cm; 542 g | | Seasons | All Weather | | Size | 290mm | | Sport | Cycling | | Style | Single | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pletscher - **Colour:** Silver - **Item weight:** 542 Grams - **Manufacturer:** Pletscher - **Material:** Aluminium ## Images ![Twin Leg Kickstand, 290mm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xHBvlEh4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this fit a bike with no Kickstand plate (e.g. the Surly Long Haul Trucker) ?** A: It should do, the stand comes with a plate which clamps above and below the frame surrounding the bottom bracket. Its a good stand, but why there are no feet included is a mystery to me. It needs feet, but this is not insurmountable and not a reason to buy one and find something suitable to act as feet. **Q: It says the package contains rubber feet yet a reviewer says these are not included, please clarify.** A: There where no rubber feet included with mine. But I think it is a really good stand. Good quality. **Q: Will this fit the trek 920** A: Rather than replying simply 'I don't know', I thought it might help to add some comments.I don't know exactly what the lower frame of your particular bike is like. You will certainly need to have two horizontal struts - they don't need to be parallel, any particular cross-section or any set distance apart (but 6cm max. apart centre-to-centre). There only needs to be space between them for the long bolt to pass through. The legs of the stand can be cut shorter if really too long - I never needed to do this.I think they are great stands (I have two). Perhaps no design is perfect, this one certainly stows very tidily beside the frame, but I've never managed to prevent it coming slightly loose after some weeks of continuous use. This might be because I've added strips of rubber between frame and mount to protect the paintwork. If you really clamp it very tight, you might buckle the frame, so I'm content to re-tighten mine every so often. I don't believe any stand can prevent your bike from falling over. This one is very reliable without luggage, but fully loaded you need to find level ground and beware gusts of wind!Hope this helps you decide, and with mounting if you decide 'yes'.Colin **Q: Hi, I measured the clearance of my bike at 270mm, would I best to purchase the 290mm with 20mm clearance, or the 310mm with 50mm clearance?** A: Hi, Clearance on my bike is 260mm and the 290mm stand leaves a couple of inches of clearance under the back wheel (handy for servicing btw), so you should be just about OK with this size unless it's on v soggy ground. Alternatively, get the 310 size and cut any excess off with a hacksaw. It's Aluminium so will cut easily enough. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stand Fast.

I was wary about paying £40 for a bike stand. Now I have no regrets. I got the Large size (320mm) for 28-29 inch tyres, to fit my large frame, 28 inch tyres ( 97-622), Raleigh Explorer 3. The stand fitted perfectly, and I did not have to cut the legs down. I discarded the long M8 bolt and used a shorter M8 Hex Cap Head screw instead. You may have to play around with the bracket and adjust the bolt length to get it to fit your bike. I was lucky in that the Raleigh has a metal plate (that includes a locating ledge) that is welded between the axle stays, and the stand fitted to this plate perfectly. The ledge on the Raleigh plate prevents the stand from twisting sideways. When on the stand the bike can be rocked, fore and aft, to sit, either on the front tyre, or on the rear tyre. The front tyre is about 90mm off the ground The rear tyre is 70mm off the ground. With this stand, the bike stands solid. The bike does not have any tendency to tip over sideways, even when the front and rear racks are fully loaded with camping gear, or when the front wheel swings around back on itself. You have to make an effort and pull the bike over by about 15 degrees before it starts to topple. Everything is extremely stable. I packed a copious amount of grease into the sliding mechanism and pivot points. This makes the deployment, and stowage, very smooth and easy. I have only tried it out indoors on the kitchen carpet, without any rubber feet. I will order some feet if they are required. I can't see any need for rubber feet at the moment. The sticker on it specifies a maximum load of 35Kg. It looks like it is made from an aluminium alloy. The stand arrived in its retail packaging, and was not inside the usual Amazon envelope or box. As a consequence, someone stuck the large address label over the important information that was printed on the packet. The instructions could not be read. But hey, I ordered it mid-evening and it arrived around 10AM the next day, so why am I complaining! ## Frequently Bought Together - Pletscher Men's Twin Leg Bottom Bracket Mounted Kickstand, Silver, 290mm UK - Pletscher F13 Rubber Foot Kickstand End Cover, Black - Pletscher Unisex Adults F24 Stand, Black, standard size UK --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/61350071-twin-leg-kickstand-290mm](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/61350071-twin-leg-kickstand-290mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
