Customer comments
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UPSTAND AND A KICKSTAND?
Unlike conventional kickstands that are heavy, ugly, permanent and unusable by modern design, the Upstand™ is fully detachable, lightweight, and usable on most bicycles.
WHAT IS IT MADE OF?
The Upstand is constructed of carbon fiber, a neodymium axial magnet, shock cord, stainless steel and a EPDM rubber foot. We go out of our way to build the best product we can, right here by hand in the US.
HOW MUCH DOES IT WEIGH?
The tab you install on your bike weighs 15 grams and the Upstand itself weighs approximately 25 grams. The total weight is the same as a single gu packet.
HOW DOES IT STAY ON?
Embedded in the top of the Upstand’s carbon fiber is a strong 6.5 pull pound axial magnet (rare earth magnet) that keeps it attached to the metal tab when using the Upstand.
WHAT ABOUT BOLT-ON’S AND THRU-AXLE’S?
We support both! On the order page for the Upstand are options for “tab size”. Typically bolt-ons require a 10mm tab and thru-axles require a 12mm tab, but double check your setup to make sure you get the right one when ordering.
IS IT HARD TO PERFORM THE INITIAL INSTALL?
Not at all! It will take less than 30 seconds actually. Simply slide out the rear skewer, hang the 15 gram tab on the skewer, slide it back in, and tighten. That’s it! Even in the event of a rear flat, the tab will stay there. Check out the quick video below to see the whole process!
So…
Why wait? It’s time to stop leaning your expensive bicycle up against something and worrying about it falling over. With the Upstand there is no more leaning, no more worrying, and no more problems.
