Does the heel of your shoe hit the kickstand? Have a carbon fiber triangle Trek 2120, 60cm frame. Bought the greenfield model, but shoe hits when ped

No. I think it depends on how you mount it and the space you have available.

Yes, occasionally when my kickstand would loosen due to vibration and slide forward. However, replacing it with longer bolts with nuts to secure the kickstand and by positioning the kickstand the furtherest back on the frame has resolved the problem.

No, but I didn't think much about that. After my son learned how to ride and got confident, I replaced the training wheels with a kickstand. The bike was the best value I found, and lack of a kickstand was not a deal breaker for me.

Yes. The heel and ball of the foot are both exposed. There's an elastic strap that crosses the arch of your foot on the bottom. I'm pretty sure that unless you have flat feet, that strap never actually touches the ground.It doesn't slow down or impede any of my spinning movements. Spinning hook kicks are no problem. So far, I'm loving these things.

The inner edge of the pedals are 6 inches apart. It's a very comfortable stance as if walking. Hope this helps!

You wont need a shorter kickstand I still have stock one. It doesn't lean as far though.

How about putting the kick stand down then get off bike. Lean bike a bit and place it under the stand...

I have seen this kickstand in black, but we do not have black available at this time. We have installed rubber feet on them before, and the name Greenfield sounds very familiar......I would guess that's what we used but I can't remember for sure. Thanks! Mike

The pegs have put some scratches on the soles of my shoes, but haven't done any serious damage. I like to stand on the pedals a lot when I ride, so you should be fine

I am 5'7 153 lbs, my shoe size is 10 1/2 and my feet barely fit on the floor and the pedals are almost to close to the seat. the frame seems strong,and the motor manages.,no side kick stand. for me I barely fit on it adequately.

From the pictures I see of the 3000, it appears the frame is too far apart (upper/lower sections) for this kickstand to attach properly.

You need to buy a longer BB to account for it. I'm going through the same issue. What I haven't seen a comment on is how this affects the non-drive side. Would you notice it when pedaling, especally if you "clip-in". This chart gives you the symetrical equivalent - http://sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html . My 3T spindle would need a 130 symetrical BB.

I bought the Greenfield Rear mount for my kids MTB and it fit great. I also bought this kick stand from Amazon for my Novara Ponderosa: BV Adjustable Kickstand for 24 to 28-Inch Bike, Blackand it was easy to install and adjust....worked great for my bike.

Soon after posting my previous, my right foot came out during exercise. Oh well, pride cometh before a fall. I have an old pair of beach sandels with double velcro closures. I attached them to the pedals with the pedal velcro across the top of the sole. Works great.

i am also a 10. i got the F and find the toe box much too tight and presses in on the balls of my feet. in fact, i end up with some nerve pain as a result of the tightness. i am going to try a G, but am fearful that will be too loose and allow friction-based digging into the top of my instep like the Gs did in the old blue zommers.

Could be the shoes you are wearing or possibly the resistance is too high. There are traction bumps on the foot holsters on mine that actually used to hurt my feet because of the thin sole but maybe these are worn down on yours. Personally, I've never had this issue so these are just guesses but I would try for shoes w/better traction.

I wear a size 10 1/2 EEEE Adidas running shoe and it fits me. There is a design problem which I find and that is when walking the first part of the shoe to hit the ground is the back of the heel - this part does not come into contact with the treckers so if you hit an especially slippery ice patch the forward foot can slip up instead of rocking forward. this can result in a fall. Knowing this one can walk flat footed over obvious slippery spots, but you have to conciously change your normal walking gait.

I totally agree on the confusion. I think the problem stems from how people prefer their shoes to fit and that everyone's feet are a bit different. I wear a 10 in Nike running shoes and the Shimano 44 is ideal for me.
