Default Kickstand - Adjustable

To fit my 29 in inseam I have done various things. Doing OK now with the Kouba3 in there. After each adjustment I was always faced with the kickstand height thing.

To long and it wants to fall right after getting my weight off. To short and it will easily fall left.

Just right is difficult to find and set with a cut and weld method.

So - an M10 coupling nut fits nicely up into the cutoff kickstand. A M10 nut with a M10 hex head bolt bottomed fits nicely in the bottom piece.

A little welding, some Locktite and here it is.

About 55 cents worth of dimes and pennies shoved into the spring at max extension makes it easy to remove and replace.

Note - Some pictures show one lock nut and some show two. I settled on 2 to use as a locking nut. Only the very bottom nut and the upper coupling nut are welded in.
