Usage Recommendations

Trekking & Commuter Bikes

Mount the KSA 18 PRO to your hybrid or trekking bike if you frequently lock up in Dublin 2, 4 or 8. The direct-mount design keeps the stand tucked in, avoiding interference with panniers or frame bags so your city errands and canal-bank picnics stay hassle-free.

Full-Suspension Mountain Bikes

If you’re hitting the Wicklow trails on a full-suspension rig equipped with KSA 18 bosses, this kickstand installs securely without affecting your suspension. Adjust the leg length for optimal ground clearance on uneven terrain, then lean your bike safely between runs.

E-Bikes & Gravel Bikes

E-bikes and gravel bikes often come with frame-mounted KSA 18 bosses. The RFR KSA 18 PRO supports the extra weight of a battery-assisted bike, so you can park confidently at cafés along the Greenway or outside your favourite Dublin coffee stop.

Recommended Accessories & Complementary Items

• Frame Protector Plate - use an M6 chainstay protector plate to prevent paint scuffs where the kickstand mounts.
• Pedal-Up Parking Stand - for longer-term storage, a portable pedal-up stand holds your bike upright at the cranks.
• Rear Reflector or Light - clip a small reflector or taillight to the kickstand’s mounting bracket to boost visibility when parked on dark Dublin streets.
• Hex Key Set - keep an M6 hex key on hand for periodic tightening. Irish cobbles can loosen hardware over time.
• Chainstay Fenders - if you ride in wet weather, add a slim mudguard to prevent dirt buildup around the mounting bolts.

Tips & Tricks

• Trim Carefully - the leg arrives at 320 mm. Cut it to the correct length so the bike stands level on flat ground. Use a fine-tooth saw and file the cut edge smooth.
• Torque Settings - tighten the M6 mounting bolt to 5 Nm to secure the kickstand without damaging thin chainstay bosses.
• Check Clearance - ensure the leg does not rub the chain or derailleur by adjusting its angle slightly outward if necessary.
• Inspect Periodically - after your first 50 km, verify the kickstand is still snug. Vibrations on potholed Dublin roads can cause slight loosening.
• Maintain Finish - wipe the stand and pivot point after rain to avoid corrosion. Apply a drop of light lubricant to keep the leg pivot swinging freely.
• Easy Removal - if you replace your wheels or use a rear rack, simply remove the M6 bolt to take off the kickstand in seconds. No extra tools required beyond an M6 hex key.
