how do you mount the rear wheel onto the stand? do you need to remove the rear axle from your bike to attach it to the stand?

I have no idea, the instructions do not explain anything and I have not yet been able to use it. What a scam!

On most bikes there are two frame rails. The stand itself goes centered under the rails with the plate that comes with the stand centered over the rails and bolted from the top down to the kickstand. Hope this is a help.

Ginger: The MAIN thing you need to be concerned with is if the post to hold the stand will fit your frame, not the distance between the legs! I have seen and installed many of these types of k-stands and it ALWAYS WROKS. Don't know what size wheel bike you have, but I have 26" wheels. The stand comes sized for a 27+" wheel so in most cases you will need to take an inch or so of each leg to make for a sturdy k-stand. I run a 26" Hybrid so I sawed off about a 1/2" each leg then replaced the rubber pads. No sweat 5 minitues with a hacksaw and you are good to go!. After my modification the distance between each leg in My caee came out to be about 7-3/4" center to center if that helps. I run dual painiers and the stock k-stand just would not do. Overall I'm very harry with my puchase!

With the bike running you can easily ride it into the stand. Yes, the bike will stand by itself once its in the stand.

Yup. I assume your bike has a flip-flop hub, just take your wheel off and toss it on the other side.

I didn't use mine as a trailer mount, although I did mount it to a piece of plywood that is just a bit longer than the length of the bike to where I have it in my shop and drive up on the plywood and then into the Wheel Chock Bike Stand Mount. It definitely needs to be mounted to something, so if you are installing it in a trailer, it just needs to be attached to something that will hold it in place and support the load of the bike that it supports.

Some bikes also do not have mounting holes near the rear axle also. But to answer your question Amazon sells: Sunlite Bike Rack Monostay Adapter by Sunlite and Jandd Mono-Stay Rack Adaptor by Jandd

This goes inside the rear axle of your bike. It's the Quick release part of the rear wheele. Your bike should come with one, but the Kurt Kinetic also has one in the box!

Hey J I park this at a rack with the rear tire in the rack. The bike rack is a poor design. I put the U lock through the frame and rear wheel and to the rack and use the cable to secure the front wheel. It works great. You should have no problems locking it to a rack or a pole or post.

The wheel did not come with a rear sprocket, on the one that I bought....I added a single speed freewheel for my bike.

Kick stand is not included with this bike. You have to buy it separately if you need one.

I have a flat rear bike rack that attaches to rear of seat and rear tire hub that i attach the basket to it with the plastic screw knobs. To make more secure, i run a bungey cord back and forth a couple times under the basket, hooking it to the bike rack. marion

I just purchased mine in September. It came with a replacement quick release for the rear bike wheel, but not for the trailer hitch that attaches to the rear axle. The replacement quick release for the rear wheel is longer for accommodating the trailer hitch which fastens to it with two wing nuts. The trailer detaches from the hitch via pulling a pin and simply lifting it off the hitch. I then bungee the floating hitch to my rear rack. That works very well for me.

I hope I answer the question you intended but my experience is that you just adjust the gears on your bike - It's simply resistance. Your bike will pitch forward slightly when it's on the stand. I hope this helps.

In the center of the back wheels there are small holes (I don't know the name of them.) There are bolts that go from the stand into those holes. (We had to have one replaced because it didn't fit! They sent us a whole new stand, we removed the one bolt that we needed, and shipped the rest of it back. Very sad.) Anyway, when you put the bike up on those bolts, it fits right in and lifts the back wheels off the ground. Easy -- IF the bolts fit. Be aware that you are sitting up about 2 inches off the floor so you have to be careful about balance and speed. And it is noisy if you set any tension against the wheel. But you don't have to worry about all those snow storms! <hehe> In the center of the back wheels there are small holes (I don't know the name of them.)

I dont have the bike but in the pictures there are rear caliper mounts so the frame will allow for it but I cant see if the rear wheel has disc mounts. At the most a new wheel or hub might be needed for the rear.

It is the back wheels that would give you trouble..too tall when bike on its side. Don't remove the front wheel because of the gear assembly.
