I trimmed mine, but unfortunately, I trimmed a bit too much--I will explain. The tires I had on the bike at the time were smaller (from the tread to the rim distance) than the ones I have now, so the kickstand does not elevate one of the wheels off the ground. To correct the problem, I have been using a rubber chair tip on one leg to even it out.

So, be careful trimming the legs!
