Tero Kickstand

The kickstand itself is solid and works fine. But only the small plastic tip broke on mine, which can easily be detached. Instead of replacing just this part, Specialized forces customers to buy the entire kickstand. This is both wasteful and expensive, and it feels like Specialized is more interested in making money than offering sustainable solutions. Please make the tip available as a separate spare part.

So the bike fell over one day and the stand snapped off at the mounting plate on the frame. I went looking for a replacement but could only find a listing for the Tero, which is actually a longer stand than the Vado and makes it stand too upright. But the fix is very simple - the stand actually has two pieces to it and if you remove the lower piece off each stand and swap them over you have the perfect (shorter) size again for the Vado. Happy days.

I purchased a e mountain bike, bike shorts and mountain bike shoes. I have been pleased with all specialized products. They make good products

It's too long and holds the bike too upright. I've had my bike nearly tip over a few times on perfectly level ground. I ended up having to modify the stand so the bike leans more on to the stand itself.

The position of the kickstand mount on my Vado 5.0 SL is too close to the pedal so that the heel of my left shoe hits it if I’m wearing regular athletic shoes so I’ve gone to wearing bicycle shoes that have narrower heals to somewhat alleviate the problem. My Vado frame is a Large but I had to cut 2” off the length of the Tero Kickstand to make it work properly.

Surprised there was no hardware for installation. I was able to find the bolts (M6) and once I had them the installation was easy. The stand holds the Vado 4.0 a little too upright, so a breeze could knock it over. Have to find absolute level, or slight downhill grade for it to be stable. No ability to adjust the length.

Great Kickstand. It fits my Turbo Vado SL perfectly. I have tried aftermarket stands and my heel would always catch them. This one clears. I would give it 5 stars but they don't include any hardware to attach it.

Like the kickstand but did not come with screws to mount on bike or list the screws needed to install.
