5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your REVXON bicycle kickstand:
- Step 1: Identify Mounting Location
The kickstand is designed to mount on the rear chainstay of your bicycle. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for installation and operation. - Step 2: Prepare Mounting Area
Clean the chainstay area where the kickstand will be attached. Place the provided plastic pads on the chainstay to protect the bike frame from scratches. - Step 3: Position the Kickstand
Place the kickstand bracket against the chainstay, ensuring the rubber gasket (silicone gasket) is positioned between the bracket and the frame. - Step 4: Secure the Bracket
Insert the long bolt through the aluminum alloy plate and the kickstand bracket, then through the chainstay, and secure it with the nut on the opposite side. - Step 5: Tighten Screws
Use an appropriate tool (e.g., a 5mm hexagon socket for the M6 screw) to tighten the mounting screws firmly. Ensure the kickstand is stable and does not wobble. Do not overtighten.

6. Operation
To deploy the kickstand, gently push it down with your foot until it locks into place, supporting your bicycle. To retract, push it forward until it clicks and is parallel to the bike frame, ensuring it does not interfere with riding.

7. Height Adjustment
The kickstand's length can be adjusted to achieve optimal balance for your bicycle, accommodating different wheel sizes or parking conditions.
- Step 1: Locate Adjustment Mechanism
Identify the adjustment button or screw located on the kickstand shaft. - Step 2: Adjust Length
Loosen the adjustment mechanism (if applicable) or press the button to extend or retract the lower leg of the kickstand to your desired length. - Step 3: Test Stability
Once adjusted, ensure the bicycle stands securely and is balanced. Tighten any loosened adjustment screws to lock the length in place.

8. Maintenance
- Regularly check all mounting screws for tightness to prevent loosening during use.
- Keep the kickstand clean from dirt, mud, and debris, especially around the adjustment and pivot points.
- Lubricate moving parts (e.g., the spring mechanism and pivot points) periodically with a light oil to ensure smooth operation.
- Inspect the rubber foot for wear and tear; replace if necessary to maintain its anti-slip properties and prevent damage to surfaces.
9. Troubleshooting
- Issue: Kickstand is loose or wobbles after installation.
Solution: Check and tighten all mounting screws. Ensure the plastic pads are correctly positioned between the kickstand bracket and the bike frame. - Issue: Bicycle is unstable when parked.
Solution: Adjust the kickstand length to achieve better balance for your specific bicycle and parking surface. Ensure the parking surface is level. - Issue: Kickstand does not retract or deploy smoothly.
Solution: Clean any dirt or debris from the kickstand's mechanism and apply a light lubricant to the pivot points and spring.
