Bike Friday Kick stand
I want to install a two legged kick stand on my Bike Friday NWT. The kick stands I have looked at all call for a minimum 11.5 inch ground clearance. The bike only has 10 inches.
has anyone put a two legged stand on there BF? What brand/model, did you have to Modify the legs?

2 things (1) I have modified kickstands with a hack saw (2) before doing anything I would call Bike Friday and see what they suggest to use. The call is free. Roger

I used a 2-legged Pletscher for a while but eventually went back to a single-legged stand, but of a higher class than BF originally provided. I usually put quite a bit of load onto the rear rack and the Pletscher was not providing a lot of stability to the parked bike.
