Schwinn Kickstand

[hotfoot]

Hello,

I've been contemplating taking the kickstand off my Stingray, it's loose and falls down whenever I jump over things. Is there any easy way to get it out of there? Once it's out, will it go back in? I've never done any kickstand service before, because none of my other bikes have them!

Thanks,
-Tyler

they make special tools to get it off easy, Park Tools KS1 ($30 tool), Maple island also sells a $10 version that is just as good

heres the CRASSLY way :mrgreen:

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking about trying that low buck c-clamp way.

You dont need the sawed off seat post or a nut between the channel locks. I do it all the time with just channel locks and plyers to pull the pin out. Works like a charm

Due to the fact that I'm at work, I cannot see all of the pretty pictures that are linked to photobucket or any other image site. If this is the cylinder style kickstand, I kind of have the reverse problem. I have a Schwinn HD and when I got my bike it has the cylinder but no kickstand. Does anyone know if they make a replacement kickstand with the spring and all necessary mounting hardware?

I have the internal parts (spring, pin, etc.) and a number of stands, but unfortunately Schwinn made a multitude of different lengths with different bends, so you would need to figure out what would be correct for your bike - I may have it.

If I were to cut off the cylinder would there be a problem? I was not sure if that also doubled as some sort of brace. I kind of thought it was, but I also have a Worksman that just has a bolt on kickstand and there is no bracing between the tubing down there at all.
