wedge for double kickstand

well if i had a machine shop i'd fashion the wedge myself out of thick aluminum ( running board type) but i'm an apt. dweller.....I two pics of my bike..the only thing I can think about is finding a mounting plate tso i can move the stand directly behind the joint but that would make for an even more seesaw effect . Thats bad enough as it is now. I will emial specialized but i won't hold my breath.




Can you use a file to modify the angle of the top surface of your center stand where it sits against the frame plate so that it can be installed at a better angle? I am a hobbyist machinist and enjoy tackling problems such as the one you have but would not try anything without having both the stand and bike in front of me to work with.

You might also email Specialized to find out if they have any recommendations for a better center stand for your bike. You did mention Globe so I presume it is a Specialized Globe.[/QUOTE]
