BONTRAGER REAR MOUNT ADJUSTABLE KICKSTAND
The Bontrager Rear Mount Adjustable Kickstand is a robust and versatile solution for riders looking to add stable parking to their bikes. Designed specifically for bikes with integrated mounts at the rear dropout, this kickstand offers a clean look and adjustable height to ensure your bike stays upright on various surfaces.
Key Performance Features
Adjustable Length: Features a tool-free adjustment mechanism that allows you to easily customise the leg length to suit bikes with wheel sizes from 24" to 29".
Integrated Compatibility: Engineered to fit perfectly on Trek bikes and others equipped with a direct-mount interface at the rear chainstay/dropout area.
Stable Rear-Mount Design: By mounting at the rear, the kickstand provides a wider base of support and prevents the "pedal strike" issues often found with mid-mount kickstands.
High-Strength Construction: Built from lightweight yet durable aluminium alloy to provide a firm hold for loaded commuters, e-bikes, or trekking bikes.
Non-Slip Foot: Equipped with a large, textured composite foot that prevents the stand from sinking into soft ground or slipping on smooth surfaces.
Corrosion Resistant Hardware: Includes high-quality mounting bolts designed to resist the elements, ensuring long-term reliability for all-weather commuters.

Why This IS For You
✅ Trek Bike Owners: This is the "factory fit" option for many Trek hybrid and mountain bikes, ensuring a seamless look and perfect clearance.
✅ Loaded Commuters: If you carry panniers or groceries, a rear-mount stand offers much better stability than a centre-mount stand, which can cause the bike to pivot.
✅ Simple Utility: Perfect for riders who want to park their bike anywhere without leaning it against walls or scratching the paintwork.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ High-Performance Carbon Frames: Most lightweight carbon race bikes do not have the required mounting holes and are not designed to handle the clamping forces of a kickstand.
❌ Universal Fit Needs: If your bike lacks the two specific threaded holes at the rear dropout, you will need a "universal" clamp-on style kickstand instead.
BFC Pro Tip
When installing the Bontrager Rear Mount Kickstand, we highly recommend a small drop of blue Loctite (threadlocker) on the mounting bolts. Because kickstands deal with a lot of vibration and repetitive weight, the bolts can occasionally vibrate loose over time. A bit of threadlocker keeps it rock-solid so you never have to worry about it rattling while you're cruising down the cycleway!
