Pletscher Touring Kickstand

Instead of cutting the metal leg to size, you simply loosen the bolt on the leg, slide it to the desired length to achieve the perfect lean angle for your bike, and tighten it back down. This allows for easy adjustments if you switch bikes or change tire sizes later.

Yes, this model is specifically engineered for touring and commuting. It is rated for a load capacity of up to 50kg, which is significantly higher than standard kickstands, making it stable enough to support a fully loaded bike.

This kickstand uses a chainstay sandwich mounting system, which is compatible with most standard bicycle frames. However, it will not work on frames with non-standard chainstay shapes or those with integrated kickstand plates that require a different mounting style.

The kickstand comes with a durable, rubberized foot pad designed to provide traction on pavement and hard-packed surfaces. While it offers better stability than a bare metal end, you should still exercise caution when parking on extremely slippery or loose terrain.

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only a hex key or wrench to tighten the included mounting bolt. The kit comes with the necessary mounting plate and hardware to secure the sandwich mount to your chainstay.
