How to lubricate my double kickstand? (ursus jumbo)
Bicycles Asked by Plumpie on July 9, 2021
It used to move real smooth but not anymore. There’s this plastic cover that says ‘remove to lubricate’, but underneath it I don’t find access to the hinge mechanism. I’m thinking of just putting some general purpose grease in the hinge, see second picture.
Couldn’t find info on this on the Ursus website, also their support didn’t answer me.

I think you may have a bigger problem. Look at the blue and red circles:
Is something missing? Looking at the original picture from interneat searches it looks so. What is the material of that part? plastic or aluminium/steel? and why it is red itself?
I have the feeling that it does not move smooth because it is not anymore solidly attached to the frame, but it has some play/slack and therefore not opening/closing smoothly.
Check the frame for scratches&co where the red circle should attach. If I am correct, you will find some, in the long term this stand may ruin your frame (---> do not grease it, toss it away or use for some beater).
I hope I am wrong.
