How do I adjust the height?
Simply loosen the adjustment screw on the leg, slide it to the desired length to match your bike size, and retighten firmly.
Is this kickstand weather-resistant?

Troubleshooting
Kickstand feels loose or wobbles when deployed
Check and tighten the main mounting bolts using a hex key. Ensure it is flush against the frame.
The stand length changes on its own
Verify the locking mechanism or adjustment screw is fully tightened to secure the telescopic leg.

Check for debris or dirt caught in the spring-loaded hinge and clean with a degreaser if necessary.
