Ugh Concours, not in Trixie's case. I thought if I use my hand to control retraction and slightly pulling up on stand as it swung to stop, that it'd stop outward enough to hook a boot on and also rest on the rubber stop, nope only lands right if I use boot to swing it back to let spring snatch it the rest of the way with a tunk. At least that's the best way now Trixie's is annoying loose, again. For a time it snug enough it don't matter it just lands right and stays there, smoothly swinging back out, for a while. Peel's biggest bother was the lug corner stop got rounded so swung too far forward. Bike welder filled it in then I ground back to suit. Maybe some sort of spring washer might take up the slack, for a time. Anywho I'm happy enough its not my assembly fault, just another innate factory worry wart.
I've seen one ladder frame triangulated side stand but couldn't see its geometry. If anyone does come up with an upgrade, I'd be interested in their geometry, leverage and pivot lesions. Matt at CNW has lowered Cdo for short legged riders like women so they have to cut down the stand and add extensions to pull it out. One extension was a dragons claw as big as a mans hand. A wicked little detail.
