Is this kickstand good for a mountain bike with 26" wheels?

Haven't tried it on a bike that size, but I put it on my kid's bike with 16" wheels and it was almost too tall on the shortest setting. Just measured it to be about 12.5" on the longest setting, which is about 0.5" shorter than the kickstand on my wife's 26" mountain bike. I'm sure it would stand the bike up, but I wouldn't say it is ideal. Sorry I couldn't answer more definitively, but I don't want to steer you wrong so just giving some info that I hope helps.

The certainly is stout enough, supports my 1968 Raleigh 3 speed with its loaded touring kit. Be advised, though, to give the welds a good looksee. Also, the through bolt may be too short to reach from the top pad to the kickstand if your chainstays are beefy. I bought a second one for my Bleriot and ran into this problem. That's a trip to the hardware store for a longer bolt.

Not familiar with high end bikes. My Mt. Bike is just the $100 dept. store variety. But the rear mount kickstand is the best. Far superior to the standard mount variety. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

The rack has clearance for 29"/700c wheels, so it should fit 26" wheels just fine. Suspension fork legs move independently of the fork crown, so there's no way to mount this to a front shock. To use a rack with suspension, ideally you'd want the load mounted to the frame, not the fork legs. I'm not aware of any racks that achieve this.

This can depend on the type of bike. I'm assuming you're referring to that the wheel you purchased isn't fitting in between your bike frame. If you buy a mountain bike wheel, it may not necessarily fit on a street/speed bike or thin racing bikes. You can also fit various size tires on certain wheels. So while your tire can say 26x1.75, it may not be what was meant for the wheel. Easiest way to know what size wheel to get (beyond consulting your owners manual) is to measure and look for a wheel for your type of bike. (Also, keep in mind if you're looking for a standard wheel or one with a quick release set-up) What is disconcerting is tires can differ between manufacturers. (Check on your wheel and see if measurements are listed on it as well)

I couldn't get it to fit because of my disc brakes. I purchased a kickstand that fits only on the bottom rear part of the frame. Look at adjustable aluminium alloy kickstand by topcabin or URgreat. Im very happy with it.

No problem! I carry my mountain bike (28" wheels) and my grand daughter's bike (20" wheels) on the back of my travel trailer and the back of my truck. I did have to play around with the spacing of the wheel carriers, the hold downs on the vertical bar and moving the bikes front to back to get the best fit. My biggest challenge was fitting the bike pedals around the spare tire on the trailer. If I was just using the rack on my truck, it would have taken 5 minutes. Rick

My bike has 26" wheels and it is rated for a guy 5'10" - 6'2" although I am under 5'10" it suits my inseam. I did not have to adjust the stand so am not qualified to fully answer your question, just hope my example will help.

Did you ever find out? I'm curious if this works with 26 inch mountain bike as well.

I used it on a road bike build & it has worked out just fine for me. Not sure about a mountain bike.

I have the tranz-X kickstand and it fits perfectly on my GT mtb. It doesn't interfere with the disc brake. I am not familiar with the other kickstand.

While I have not used this stand with a mountain bike I have used it with my 20+ year old steel framed commuter bike. It handles this this load with ease. Based on my own experience with the stand and what some of the reviews state, I believe it will support a mountain bike.

I found the cycle pro to be sturdy and well made. Additionally, I think the placement of the feet in the right way (level, solid ground ect) I think it would be right for a mountain bike.

I have a 20" wheel bike. There is more than six extra inches for the 26" to fit. Although, I have never tried to fit a 26" into my bag.

This is a universal kickstand. Once mounted you have to cut off some of it at the foot to stabilize the bike. Great stand and very reliable. I have the same brand installed on three bikes. Hope this helps.

You'll need about a 2" clearance between rear seat post and tire. Also be aware of guide wire on bottom of rear wheelset as kickstand mounts in center of wheel supports .wire may be pinched or in the way. Otherwise it should work standing bike vertical.

Fitted it to my daughter's 26 inch wheel 10 year old mountain bike with no difficulties. If bike has front suspension I believe you would be unable to fit it as it connects to the handlebars and the wheel axle. Hope this helps.
