PletscherOptima Flex Adjustable Bicycle Kickstand, Black, 26" to 29"

I love the sturdy build quality although it is heavier than a cheap stand. German made I believe.

The kickstand is really strong and seems high quality but the only problem is that it isn’t provided with a bracket to hold it to the frame of the bike. You get a bolt and washer, but no fixing plate. Luckily I salvaged one from an old bike. I also had to modify the stand in 2 ways: it says it fits a 24” frame but was actually too long for my daughters bike. I used and angle grinder to cut off about an inch of the stand. Secondly I didn’t trust the grub screw used to hold the adjustable foot wouldn’t become loose and fall off, so I used silicone to hold the foot on as a precaution.

Hopefully it's that 1 in a 1000 bad productStand works well until you decide to cycle, then it falls down and won't stay up rendering it useless whilst cycling

In the description it says screw and washer included but they weren't included when the item arrived.

It's light and strong and easily adjusted. Very easy to fit too.

It was easy to fit and works

Definitely a good quality piece of kit. Made in Switzerland! It says so on the manufacturer's blurb. I'd have a look at the Optima version of this which is probably a better buy in that it is adjustable whereas this one you saw off bits until you get it to the right size. Which means it won't necessarily fit another bike you might want to switch it over to.
