- / bikemanforu How to measure your bike for and install a front mount kickstand. Free Shipping www.bikemanforu... on bike parts, tires, and cycle accessories. Greenfield Industries makes standard front kickstands in two lengths 285mm and 305mm. Most of the time, you'll need the 285mm. Both sizes can be cut to length but how do you know how long or how short?. TH-cam's how-to guru of DIY bike repair provides hands-on instruction, emphasizing the importance of keeping the part and frame flat and even, watching for bolt serrations to act as a lock nut, making sure the pedal is in the right position. Do you need the standard or longer length? Learn how to answer that question by measuring the distance between your bottom bracket and the floor. "If your distance is more than 10 3/4 inches, you might need a little bit longer kickstand. I put this on here, this is the standard 285. Let's see how well it works on the ground." You'll see what's the right length for a bike and what happens when the kickstand is too long. No worries if you're nervous about cutting the length. BikemanforU starts by making sure the bike is up high on a flat surface. Watch step-by-step instruction on how to measure the right length, then take a simple hacksaw and start trimming on an angle. "Remember, let the saw do the work," he cautions, then files the end smooth. 29er mountain bikes are likely to need the longer length. Comes in silver or black.

Thanks! Exactly what I came looking for. My 1981 Schwinn Traveler that I’ve had since...1981, has a kickstand once again for the first time in at least 20 years!
Thanks for the installation guide. Bought it off Amazon and finally got around to installing it
I grew up on long island and I definitely hear the accent. Brings me back haha (I live in Boston now). I miss it!
Stella, Do you need the longer one? Please let me know....
Nice vid. Greenfield now makes the bolts to go from the bottom up rather than top down.
Thanks this was helpful! Never done this before and it Helped me realize that this type of kickstand is not going to fit on my bike since there is not enough space to place the mount :( guess I’ll have to buy a different type of kickstand
If you have oval shaped chain stays on the frame of your bike, then try looking for a kickstand that bolts on.
I have a 2019 Trek Domane. Just bought this kickstand KS2 285mm in black. The bolt is 9/16 USA, 2 inches. My bike needs a 3 - 4 inch bolt because my Trek horizontal tubes are about 2 inches tall. Have to go to Ace hardware now to get the longer bolt
Thanks, very helpful video, I was able to install mine really quick after watching you.
Wow made in the USA how rare nice kick stand looks beefy and strong.
You’re the man! Thanks
I have one of those they are Nice If you don't want to scratch your paint you can cut some pieces of inner tube to put between the pieces and the frame
Smart! I'll keep that in mind when working on clients bikes!
Very informative! Just what I needed to know.
A masterpiece! Thank you Sir!
Mine is even longer!
Thank you!

Nice informative video :)
Great job mate..
Great info even though I'm not a kick-stand sort of cyclist! Lol. Thx BikeMan.
"When you need the longer one....You gotta have the longer one"
That is what she said!
Guy is good money
When I come to his bike shop I will distract him with a 6-pack of Ranger IPA while my team of ninjas raids the Boneyard!
Ummm... 305 minus 285 is 20mm, not 15mm. But hey, your math is good Mr. Pump, like Bikeman says. Good vid tho. Just don't do my taxes, I'd like to stay out of jail. tnx.
and pops "knows" that. Yeah, math is good hahaha
Thanks man
The foot seems too pointed for parking in the soft stuff for a mountain Ebike? Do you offer a larger foot for the stands?
hello which one will be the one for a Pashley Sovering? thanks for your attention
Trying to instal the Greenfield kickstand on an LHT with the plates and all. The supplied Greenfield bolt seems too small. Am I supposed to buy a longer one or am I making some mistake somewhere?
Entertaining group of dudes! Math is a bit off though...Ride on!
This guy would make good infomercials. Could probably sell ice to eskimos.
Measure once cut twice? Don't you mean measure twice cut once? :P
i had one like this but my pedals keep hitting the stand ???
We have a Schwinn Mountain Bike.... This thing is a foot high at the bottom of the frame.. !!!!! The 185 seems too short...? We are waiting for the foot or boot that was ordered with this project..
It's 285 not 185.!
No rubber foot for those stands
You let it slide up against the cable
start the video with .5 speed. he sounds like he's drunk in that lol
Hi bike man
What IS this kickstand you speak of?
Hey Bikeman. where's the anger? I want whipped! Whip me baby!
Measure twice, cut once. Not measure once, cut twice. 😉
Do these come in carbon? I kid, I kid!
What a shame! He chose oysters over bikes.
Get out of the way and just teach what you've got. Must everyone be an idiot???
