the mobile holder is actually very good not sure how it will be on trails as were i live we have only sand and gravel, on my budget bikes the stem is long enough that i can strap it on there and its sturdy enough, i would still suggest a mobile cover to b used but im happy with it, mind u i only use cheap phones when im on the bike as i like to try jumps and so on :)

Thinking of getting a kickstand just to do that now

I heard Nukeproof is calling you, they dislike the kickstand and want their bike back 🤣🤭 Hillarious presentation, as always with Blake 💛

If LockPickingLaywer has taught me anything is that you should always check that a chain lock is hardened and have a decent thickness before you use it.

never thought someone could bring so much stezy to putting a kickstand down

0:03 The way he stands his bike. Now that is style!!

If you're worried about the kickstand deploying mid-trail, just add a bit of velcro tape to the frame to strap it down.

We (70's) kids used to mount our kick stand just behind the crank bearing so when you pedaled off it put the stand up automatically. My Raleigh Chopper came with a chrome one built onto the bottom bracket... Of course the mod kit to have back then was the fibreglass pole and flag... made exiting the back of the bike on an over zealous wheelie a little embarrassing tho. (Good thing with the old choppers, you could just sit back in that plush armchair of a seat and wheelie without effort.) Raleigh Chopper, Most comfortable seat EVER!

The lock cover was tougher than the chain thats crazy 😅

So rubbish! Probably among the worst we've ever seen!

I know we all think of stands as a bit cheap and naff, but the amount of scratches and grips I would have saved over the years 😂😂😂

Awesome video,Blake is one of GCN's best next to Ollie,keep up the good work my fellow Zimbabwean.🇿🇼

I love the cheap bike product review videos! Keep them going.

Saved my life just now, hilarious presentation yes, that kickstand looked like it wanted to 'lock-itself-out' on the trail, thanks for the laugh & the smile you beautiful person

I have one of those kickstands on all of my bikes. I don't understand why people spend £3000 on a bike, and then drop it on the floor or lean it against a tree (and hence scratch the paintwork) every time they stop.

Fantastic video guys. Great idea. Get ya money ready Blake this carry on up to part 20. 😊

Daaang that kickstand jump was so legit 😂🤜🤛

Brilliant series, but just goes to prove there are 2 things you cannot go cheap on: phone mount and bike lock - they protect your 2 most valuable possessions! Phone mount - Quad Lock is excellent, and the cases are nice so you can use them as your everyday case. No wobbling, absolutely rock solid - but if you're worried about vibration they do an adaptor for that too. Lock - You absolutely have to go for a decent hardened U-lock with proper lock and a cable to loop through your wheel. Nothing else will suffice. Even then I wouldn't leave it unattended overnight or anything like that. Unless you're a locksmith and know what you're doing, just go for something with "Sold Secure" certification from a decent brand like Abus. Heavy and pricey but worth it.

Blake seriously needs his own show... he’s just too good 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙

Love this Amazon finds series 😂 Blake is funny af! Nicely done GMBN!

Brilliant!! 😂 especially as I always end up with a load of crap from impulse buying…….keep it up ❤

I like the decathlon kickstand. That too with dirt and some use on it the kickstand has gotten tight and no matter how hard you drop it doesn't come down but easily comes down with little leg force.

QuadLock makes the best phone holders by far. I use it every time I go mountain biking and have never had an issue.

I love my kickstand, for years Ive been putting my bikes on their sides on the dirty ground scratching pedals and grips. looking for curbs and walls to lean it against but now that I finaly got a shiny new bike i dont wanna do that anymore, I want a kickstand. but now after watching this I have a new fear unlocked, although mine never deployed on its own in a 1000 miles Ive ridden with it jumping a bit, and hitting big roots

I use a rubber phone mount similar to that one for my road bikes that attaches to the stem, keeps it from bouncing nearly as much when attached to the stem instead of the actual handlebars

14:25. As the old addage goes, "Buy once, cry once". Braided steel cable, a clear thick & tough coating (to show its braided cable) with a key is my choice. Live in a large city and not once has my bike been attempted on.

I use a Quad Lock as a phone mount and it is stable and safe and love it.

I've fitted several such kickstands to a number of bikes over the past year, for myself and others. It works fine, but it will need tightening up several times over the first few months as the rubber grips holding it to the bike frame slowly deform and it will become loose

Love this series!

I still use a Kryptonite U-lock, although my used Cannondale SuperSix was just stolen here in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles back in June. The guy used liquid nitrogen. Apparently, thieves here in LA have moved on to using acid or liquid nitrogen to break the lock, which unfortunately isn't covered by Kryptonite. Best thing to do is lock it w/a U-lock, then cover it w/a lockdown cover. Amazon has the covers for about $43. With the cover on, the thief can't see where to apply the liquid nitrogen. Also, it would take him longer, thus, risking him getting caught. Try putting an Airtag on the steerer tube or seat tube. Nothing is 100%.

this guy deserves a raise. who the f can make a kickstand cool again

End to kickstand... learning that.

you are funny Blake! this was better than many stand up comedians ;)

Blake is so so funny.... sexy tong for your cellphone.... LOL Great topic guys.

I also commute with my bike so have a similar kickstand. It must have a stronger spring as I've never had it deploy accidentally, but then again I also don't ride as hard as Blake. If it ever becomes a problem I'll remove it, but so far it's treated me well. And for the weight weanies, Ive lost 70 lbs since I've started mountain biking so the weight of the kickstand is negligible. I can always lose another pound to compensate.

Smooth move on the kickstand 😂

😂 about the kick stand. Can you try putting a Velcro to secure it for trails. One that you can pull to remove when done shredding

You are him bro, that roll up was so dope.

That kickstendo is too good man!) Should it be considered an essential trick to learn?)

The silicon band style phone mounts are trash IMO... for a few dollars more, you can get the sturdier rigid mounts that has a top/bottom spring mechanism that also locks into place. if you need charge port access and go with a sturdy side clamp version, make sure that the clamps don't squeeze any of your side buttons (and calls emergency!). Also nicer mounts let you mount it right next to your stem. Just make sure it's mounted in a way that if you crash, it's more likely not to get hit or get smashed... because you may need it to call for help. I have them on all my MTB and road bikes as my bike computer, music player, etc. ... I also recently installed a kickstand for my dad's bike. I haven't used one of those in forever.

Amazing how they make all this stuff in the jungle.

Peak design is another good option

Kudos for not mentioning the phone mount company you had on your motorcycle directly. I had the same one and after it knackered my camera too, yet they have the audacity to sell you the vibration damper as an extra 😡

the quadlock bike mount works great, never lost my phone even on the roughest trails

i am going to try the kickstand slam 🙂

Damn that kickstand really had me kicked in this video. I have the same exact version (just different branding) for only $2 and it's been with me for 3yrs and i never took it off. I can park my bike anywhere 😂🤣😂 P.s. you have to wrap a bit of duct tape or old inner tubes on the part where you will install the kickstand to avoid deep scratches. My old frame has worst since i just installed it directly 👍😂 AND YOU CAN JUST PUT ON A VELCRO WHILE ON TRAILS 😂

But if you use velcro to strap it, how will you do that sick endo to kickstand at the end of your sick bomb down the track?! (Good tips though, might snag a cheap one for my around town bike, biggest jumps I do on that are off curbs and it gets tiring having to find something to lay it down on every time I stop for a break, hah)

Please try the Gewage high riser 70mm bar. It is 800mm wide and I love it. Would be curious how good you think it is (and strong since it's 6061aluminum). Made my Enduro bike so much more comfortable.

I don’t worry about my Amazon kickstand anymore😂

Awesome and entertaining video - as always :-D One question, because i am struggling to find it on the web: What Garmin Mount are you using? Greats from Austria :-)

I don't have a computer, I just use a watch. But when I need navigation I use a webby thing. Though it doesn't have the rotation / detachable thing. I've crashed and the phone went nowhere.

In Blake we trust 😎

I need a couple decent kickstands for my e-bike built for long packing trips...it is gonna be heavy fully loaded. But I am also cheap...I will consider a pair of those. I don't want a single dual leg stand, I want the option to use one or the other, or both, as needed.

Mankini! Hahaha! Hilarious presentation!

I notice that your chain guide had somehow fallen off while you were demonstrating the first product, you must have found it again because it was back on later in the video 🤣

I have one like that cell holder. For me works fine.😅😊

Got that kickstand for my daughter's bike. Her bars were round though, and that thing would spin and drop the bike no matter what I did.

I Use some Velcro straps to hold the kick stand up so it doesn’t fall mid ride

What happened to the padded seat cover review you had on during the bike lock portion?

Need a link for the chain tool from the first item as I can't find it online.

With the phone mount try putting it close to the stem I have one and it stays perfect if you rest it on the stem

i had one of the bike stands and it snapped when i cased a big jump. i had it on my bike for when i do my paper round!

I would really like you guys/girls to do an upto date bike theft video testing gold standard chains and locks abus and litelock do some good ones.

stand need a heaver spring or some type of easy locking mech ?

Ive a question Re the phone mount - will the plastic circular mount point of that silicon “bikini” sleeve mount to an “out in front” bike computer mount?

Lmao That Intro Was Clean

@12:57 Blake, what kind of saddle do you have on your bike? Or is it a cover?

Also never trust combo locks because they are generally very easy to "pick". I had a bike stolen because of this, I've also opened my dad's bike lock first try after watching a 5 minute KZread video.

Nice kick slam

and how about the tyres?

Hi what is the best bike lock chain

What is the link to chain seater or the name of product

Would be curious to see a comparison between the chain tool vs. "grab a stick by the side of the trail to use as a lever". I've had a good amount of success with the latter as an approach if I'm looking to get a chain back on quickly without getting hands covered in grease.

What happened to the tyres?

Same for me, only without the corrective lenses. Amazing "cheap" glasses

the bike stand is £3 cheaper than a plastic tool to put the chain back on, where you could use pretty much any stick instead, but still, Blake call the stand pricey 😅

that exact kick stand cost here in Philippines 77php or 1.50usd

It's not how many people bought the items but how many left a review but you already know it :)

nice opening

I got a samsung fold z3 I wouldn't trust any mount for my phone 😂😂😂 endo to kickstand was smooth af

To be fair, there are some of those phone holders made out of pure aluminum. They are much better for rough stuff, give one a try.

Kickstand are in people! Get with the program!
