Default 21" front wheel kickstand question
i see all the posts about longer kickstands but not many answers from the ones with a 21" wheel....did you guys change anything? i didn't lower the bike any and the 21 18 combo really puts a big lean on the bike. just seems like it may in the long run be putting to much stress on it.
