Pletscher Unisex's Comp Zoom

Great stand, strong, good adjustment, I did have to drill another hole to fit my e bike, my fault I didn't bother measuring the holes on my bike, but it was an easy modification, otherwise great stand for the price, very happy 😊

I fitted the Pletscher Comp Zoom 40 to my Felt QX70EQ men's hybrid bicycle. It took me about 20 minutes to fit it and increase the length. I needed two Allen Keys, one for the two bolts that attach the kickstand to my bicycle frame and the other to loosen the two bolts that attach the plastic foot to the metal part of the kickstand.At first, I did some research into what kickstand would fit my bike and discovered my bike takes a KSA 40 standard type kickstand. It means the distance between the hole centres for the bolts which attach the kickstand to my bicycle frame is 40 mm. So I could have chosen any KSA 40 type kickstand but I chose this one because it looks stylish, robust, good quality and was cheaper than the others I saw. It is also made from aluminium, which is lighter than steel but is still strong enough to withstand the weight of my bicycle. My bike weighs 15.45 kg and I think the stand is suitable for a weight of up to 18 kg. I wanted a matt black kickstand so it would match my bike. The other one with a metallic finish would not have looked good.I fitted the kickstand using the two large countersunk bolts which came with my bike. So I did not need the two bolts and spring washers that were supplied with the product.It was a bit fiddly to increase the length of the kickstand. I removed the two small bolts and locknuts that connect the plastic foot to the metal part. I could not get the locknuts in the correct position to tighten the bolts but I succeeded eventually. The locknuts slide into two square holes in the side of the plastic part.The product came with minimal packaging. It was mounted to a piece of cardboard with some black plastic cable ties. I removed the ties with a utility knife easily.There are some diagrams on the back of the piece of cardboard which were not clear or particularly helpful. I think the instructions are the same for multiple models such as the COMP ZOOM 18, COMP ZOOM 40, COMP FLEX 18 and COMP FLEX 40. I would have preferred specific instructions for the COMP ZOOM 40. I went to the website at www.Pletscher.CH and looked for information on the product before I bought it. It took a while to find this particular model, the Comp Zoom 40. I found it listed under rear kickstands rather than the centre kickstands. I found these specifications for the Comp Zoom range:ApplicationsRear KickstandsSpring for side movementDampening of the stayFatigue test for spring mechanismExpendable in 7.5mm stepsAluminium die-cast GD-AlSi9Cu3DeliveryMounting hardware optionalMaterialPowder coated black / metallic - silverPlastic Kickstand Shoe with large surfacePin hardened steel, zinc platedScrew M5 / M6SpecificationsStrut length L1 26"-29" expandablemax. Strut length 29"Weight 276gmax. Load 18kgI could not find any installation instructions in English. There were only images of the different types of products and the specifications.Overall, I think the Comp Zoom 40 is a bargain and it is made in Switzerland. I would rather buy a product made in Switzerland than China. The product is of a good quality and I think it will prove to be reliable. It is a stylish design. The disadvantages are that it did not come with any instructions either on the packaging or the website in English. The diagrams on the packaging are intended to be universal for the English, French and German language markets but I did not find the diagrams particularly useful or helpful.

Excellent sturdy bike stand, fits well to the holes in the bike frame. Carrera crossfire

Great fit, bolted straight on to my Carrera Crossfire e bike. is sturdy and didn't need any adjustment. very pleased.

This is an excellent rear fitting bike stand. Looks like it will be too big - but actually fits really wel. And easy to attach (if you have pre-existing holes).Fitted to a XL Carrera Crossfire 2 Hybrid and also to a small women’s Carerra Crossfire 2 - we just wish we had bought them earlier as would have saved on scratches to bike frame.Really good when you stop for a break and flick the stand down.What you have never had you never miss - but this is now an essential bit of kit for our future bikes.

This is my 2nd one of these, the first worked its way loose and destroyed the threads on the back.I ended up losing one of the bolts, replaced it, lost it again.. I bought a replacement stand because the threads were knackered on the first one, and have put the bolts in using Loctite so they don't budge.So far, I am very happy with the result, the stand does the job and fits the bike perfectly

Perfect fit for my Carrera Subway E. The frame already had a mount for a stand of this type with countersunk holes 40mm apart. Fitting was a doddle, the stand has threaded holes and comes with two 6mm bolts. Will replace them with countersunk ones for a cleaner look. Stand is super sturdy and chunky and really supports the bike well. Makes things so much easier, no more propping it up against a wall. Definitely recommend.

This is the second Pletscher kick stand that I've purchased for my bikes. This particular one for my E bike, a Carrera Subway. It fits perfectly, bolted to the frame, no adjustment necessary to the leg! I'm sure it'll stand the test of time as it's a well built item. A necessary item for an expensive E bike.

Passt wie angegossen an mein Haibike ind die 40mm Aufnahme. Zur Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nichts sagen, aber er macht auf mich einen stabilen Eindruck. Ich kann die negative Bewertung nicht nachvollziehen. Die Ausführung in 18 mm habe ich an meinem E-Bike und da ist er extrem stabil. Der Ständer kann meiner Meinung nur brechen wenn man sich auf das Bike setzt, also zweckendfremdet belaßtet. Der Langzeittest wird es zeigen.

Nach Montage an meine Rad eine super Qualität und erheblich besser als das vom Rad Hersteller eingesetzte Produkt.Sehr zu empfehlen.Nach 8 Wochen, habe ich einen kompletten Durchbruch erlitten.Das kann nicht sein.

Der Ständer macht einen wertigen Eindruck und ist auch stabil. Bei zwei bepackten Satteltaschen bleibt das Fahrrad standsicher. Der Anbau ging ohne Probleme. Was mich doch ein wenig stört ist, dass der Ständer beim Ausklappen in die Stützfunktion stark federt und laut ist, deshalb nur 4 Stern.

Der Fahrradständer ist für seitliche Montagen in bereits vorhandene Bohrlöcher im Fahrradrahmen.Bisher tut er seinen Job gut - das Fahrrad steht wieder.Eine extreme Belastungserprobung des Fahrradständers mit einen üppig bepackten Gepäckträger sowie ggf. Einkaufstaschen am Lenker werden wir dem Fahrradständer aber lieber ersparen.

Da andere Fahradständer von Esge Pletscher gute Qualität haben habe ich mich für mein neues e-MTB für dieses Modell entschieden. Er erfüllt auch grundsätzlich seinen Zweck, ist jedoch obwohl er fest montiert ist so lose dass er schon bei kleinen Erschütterungen beim Fahren klappert. Außerdem quietscht er beim Auf- und Zuklappen. Insgesamt enttäuschend und für den Preis nicht empfehlenswert.
