Alloy Bike Kickstand 16" 349 Parking Stand for Brompton Bicycle 3sixty Trifold Rear Axle Kick Stand Side Standaard (black)

Bought this kickstand for my 2022 C-Line Brompton (M6R). As a mechanical engineer the design appealed to me; no frills, just function.The other one I’ve seen for sale has a decorative turned profile that looks like a bannister spindle…

Easy to install, does not interfere with folding.

Perfect fit for brompton c line. Both holes match perfectly with existing brompton holes on frame. The big hole goes in without any other screws in the way. For the smaller hole on the kickstand, you need to unscrew the cargo bolt and place the top hole of this kickstand between the cargo screw and the frame. Make sure the kickstand is in the closed position to avoid any confusion.

(Edit 2023) I haven’t used it for a long time since The metal bracket that attaches to the bicycle has started to bend with the addition of excess weight like a bag or other accessories. The initial immpression I had was correct as the length of the post made the bicycle lean too far and accelerated the bending problem.(Original review) It was simple to install on my 2021 Brompton and the hinge mechanism feels very robust. My only concern is that the length of the post is too short and makes the bicycle lean too far almost until it can tip over with a light touch. Depending on if you park the bike on a hill or soft ground the bike could tip over which is not very comforting. Decent price though for what you get.

Fits and works as expected.

It supports the installation easily and firmly. However, if there is a rear rack, the screw may be a little short. I'm using M6R. FYI.

EDIT: My bike fell because some people walking in the area of my bike accidentially knock it over on concrete and the way it fell made the kickstand loose, so now it's hard to hold up the bike. I'm just coming here to mention this as yours could suffer the same demise. I think I will be buying another one soon, and hopefully my bike won't fall over again (fingers crossed).(Original Review)I installed mine to the left of the secondary bolt that the little hole is supposed to be attached to. I did not attach the upper hole at all and it was extremely easy to install.I first put the bike in kickstand mode with the rear tire to make it stable to work on.First of all, I only used tools that come with the Brompton tool kit, so if you have no other tools, that kit will have everything you need.On my bike there's small black rubber protective sleeves covering the large tire bolt. I just used the Brompton tire kit tool to pull it off.I used the Brompton wrench to unloosen and remove the lug nut from the tire bolt.I placed the large hole of the new kickstand on the bolt, and situated the small hole on the kickstand to the left of the area where it's suppose to be mounted. I DID NOT mount the secondary hole to anything. It's just stationary (See Photo).I have two bags on the front of my bike and they're full and the kickstand supports them ONLY if I situated the front tire to the right when parking it. It's a solid hold and doesn't tip over when pushed.However, if I just park it with the front tire straight ahead, it will stand with no problem, but if I push it, it will fall.Situating the tire to the right it will never fall. It's solid that way.For those if you who don't mind fiddling around, you may want to try installing both holes to the frame to see if there's any difference. But, just the one attachment point works absolutely fine for me. And I noticed compared to other photos from other buyers here that attached the kickstand to "both" holes, the kickstand is sort of off level. Something to think about. Mine is straight down and leveled.Also whenever you park the rear wheel in kickstand mode, the "silverock" kickstand does not extend pass the wheel or impedes the pedal or anything else when folded.This turned out way better than I thought, and it actually works. I got tired of using my bike in kickstand mode for just a few minutes, to buy some street food or snacks and try balancing it with food in my hands. Should have purchased it before now!*Side Note: I have my brompton decal covered up due to where I live and high bicycle thefts
