Now possibly you will begin to appreciate the ineffable joy of taking

I measured the fellow as Grant described above, no plate on the
bleriot w/ a bit of bar tape in place, worked as described. I think
there are some non-verbal instructions on the plastic wrapper.
Used a dremel tool. My only bit of useful advice: if you too use a
dremel tool or some other power
I'm blown away by the number and quality of the responses. Thank you

Use a material that adds friction to arrangement and resists
compression. I use reddish/orange plumbing gasket material to protect
the frame. IMO, the leather you are using might be too slippery and it
compresses - leading to the impression that you haven't tightened the
fitting enough.

It isn't super elegant, but I usually just mount the kickstand, put my
foot in the middle of it as a fulcrum, and bend until the desired lean
angle is achieved.

El Kickstand is marked with bb heights.
If you measure BB height on a non-tilted bike, you can cut at the
mark. Cut at an angle, just as the mark is.
Here, we use kickstand feet, which add length, and so...if you measure
bb at 270mm and plan for the foot, cut 270 minus 10 to 12mm = 258 to
260. The

I posted a lengthy response to this on another thread on August 15.
The original thread was regarding a kickstand on a Bleriot. Some of
the thread won't apply directly since you are using a braze on plate.
I do use plumbing gasket material between the kickstand and the braze
on. This cre
The two legged kickstands seem cool and I am using one. But as someone
else pointed out over on the Surly group, you will always only have
three points of contact (POC). Either the three are made up of two
tires and one kickstand leg, or two legs and one tire. Trust me when I

The "correct" way is to install the stand first. If the bike does not
lean against it in a way that seems seccure, then you leave the
kickstand down and put the front and rear wheels up on books or boards
or some such until the bike is leaning the way you want. Then you
measure the height of you

Why not try it first? You may be surprised.

Hi Michael. My only advice is to cut a "little" at a time - I cut mine 3
times, and the last time too much. Maybe I can use it now on my grandson's
bike...
