Same principle as a stud installer

I recently installed this kickstand on my Trek 520 Disc. I haven't used it on a fully loaded tour yet, but it's doing a fine job of supporting the empty bike. The bolts that were included with the kickstand were too wide for the mount on the bike, but I had a couple extra screws from unused water bottle cages that got the job done.
Although before I found that one, I bought this one and then realized it's not compatible with disc brakes. Unfortunately, it's not eligible for returns on Amazon, so now I'm stuck with a kickstand I don't need or want. So if you have rim brakes on your bike, I'd be willing to send it your way if you can just cover the shipping costs.
Wheel hangers make it so much easier. I just line one of the holes at the 12 o'clock position, screw in the wheel hanger rod, then slide the wheel down the hanger rod. Screw in the remaining 4 lugs, unscrew the rod, and finish it up.

I've only had them about 2 years, but as far as what they can take goes they've definitely proven themselves. I got them to ease swapping between street tires and racing tires for autocross and track days. Never had any issues at all that would lead me to think they need replacing. I can't imagine how they'd wear any more than factory equipped lug studs would. The only difference whatsoever with them is that they're threaded on vs pressed in. If they're threaded on with the proper torque and loc-tited there's absolutely no reason they'll come out short of maybe if you hammer off a nut that was cross-threaded and then torqued on way too hard. In that case it would be convenient that they come out since that stud would beed to be replaced anyway, no matter if it's OE or a conversion. Pretty much all teams that race BMWs convert to studs to make wheel changes easier. The guy at the tire shop that warned against them probably has seen too many Pep Boys specials roll through where the owner uses lousy parts and more importantly doesn't bother installing them right.
I have these studs in a different length and these nuts from Precision European Motorwerks. ECS Tuning tends to have great parts too though so I wouldn't think twice about using their kits.
Can't go wrong with a set of these
