The tight kickstand/cable clearance on my wife's Kona is a bit closer than
a pinch or a rub... http://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/7604199554/ It's
been fine for several years with this big-a-notch. If you're worried about
compromising the strength of the kickstand plate, rather than a
Nice. That notch is awesome
Cripler, with the small amount of rubbing you could consider either filing
it down or removing the black plastic pieces and wrapping the chainstays
with some rubber from some old tubes. That would lower the top plate enough
to not rub. Just be careful and don't
Ok. So it looks as though it may be time to get a little crafty. I think I
can manage to dremmel out a notch...i'll have to take a look and see I'll
have enough space to solve the issue. andy - my issue looks more similar to
what you were facing, so I have some hope. Stephen - I thought
Yeah I know what you mean but the rubber would give me than the cloth bar
tape. Either way do what you think will work =).
As much as I don't like kickstands aesthetically it has been fairly
convenient when commuting to work.

RE: kickstand convenience... I went on an organized ride recently. Of the
60 or so bikes, mine was the only one with a kickstand. I'd stand 'er up
right in the middle of all the leaning/laying bikes. I think someone
commented at each of the 4 checkpoints and at the start/finish.

Not sure where I came up with this, but it might be an option to lower
everything down and allow the cable to slide by. I have this on my QB at
the moment, but it seems like it would work for a bike with under-shell
wires. (Which by the way, my QB has - was that common?) Anyone know of a
From your picture it looks like it's the head of the bolt that is rubbing.
That's tricky to notch. An Allen head bolt will be smaller in diameter
but a hair taller in stack height. That might clear it with no notching
necessary

Take a file to the kickstand top plate... make a notch just deep enough. I
did it 4-yrs ago on my wife's non-Riv daily commuter and no issues. --Andy

I had a similar issue with the double kickstand mounted using the black
plastic pieces on my 56 Rambouillet. What I did was make sure that the bolt
head was rotated so that the cable wasn't rubbing on it. I can post a pic
when I get home from work.

Steven,
A picture would be great thanks!

So It looks like mine rubs a tiny bit also. I was able to move the
kickstand back enough to not have it rub but it's not shown in this pic.

Be careful. I just removed one from a used rivbike and there was alot of
paint missing under it. Maybe try to put some kind of rubber on the frame
before clamping down on it.
