How to Measure Your Bike
First measure the height of the "Contact Point":
The "Contact Point" is the spot where a Click-Stand would touch your bike. Typically that where the bottom of the top tube meets the seat tube. With your bike standing upright (vertical), measure from the "Contact Point", straight down to the ground. Round your measurement to the nearest quarter inch, or use millimeters.
Be sure that your bike is standing upright, not leaning, then measure straight down to the ground. (Do not lean your bike & guess where the Click-Stand will touch the ground.)
This isn't the easiest thing to do as the chainstays get in your way. Just measure as carefully as you can, more than once please. I will determine the length of the Click-Stand from that measurement. Please note: being off by a little won't make a big difference, just do the best you can.
Second, measure for the Cradle size:
The Cradle size typically is the diameter (the distance across) of your top tube if it is roundish. Either eyeball it with a ruler, use a caliper, or measure around it with a piece of string, then divide the string's length by 3.14 (just like your math teacher taught you!)
Order the cradle that matches you top tube diameter, or the larger size if you are in between. A cradle can be too large with no problems.
The cradles will fit oval and irregular shaped tubes. If that is the case there is a place while ordering to give the width, height, and shape of your top tube. Do email me if you have a question. info@click-stand.com
Cradles are available in eight sizes to fit tubes up to 2" (51mm).
Third, what type of brake levers do you have?One, or both, of your brakes must be engaged while using a Click-Stand. Brake-Bands are included with your order, one for each lever, and a spare. Slip them over your handlebar, pull the tab over your brake lever to hold it shut. Brake-Bands are included with your purchase.
When not in use your Brake-Bands just cling to your handlebar waiting for their next chance to serve.
For typical handlebars and levers Brake-Bands come assembled; Just slip them on.
Bar-End Shifters are Different:
Bar-end shifters have shift housing that keeps you from slipping the Brake-Bands up to the levers. If you have bar-ends, or for some other reason you can not slip the Brake-Bands up to your brake levers, let me know and your Brake-Bands will be shipped unassembled. You will need to fit them over your cables and snap them together.
At the right is a picture of bar-end shifters. They are fitted to the ends of drop handlebars.
Click-Stand is not to be used on a bike with a mounted child seat.
