I have put Big Apples on three of my folders and have replaced all the OEM stands with adjustable Pletschers after wasting time making an extension for one of the original stands and also getting a new uncut Greenfield and shortening it so that it was a little longer than the original (most Greenfield models are sized for bikes with 26" or 700C wheels, so they always have to be cut when mounted on a small wheeled folder). I did cut off a little bit of the excess length of the metal leg of the Pletschers after deciding on the right length for the adjustable plastic tip.
