The stock kickstand on my Yuba Spicy Curry has been feeling shorter for some time lately, and the bike has not been staying put on slight inclines. Recently the right plastic piece fell off and then I realized it had been ground down to the metal. So I glued it back on upside down, and ripped the left side off and did the same. I expect this will give me a few months to figure something more permanent out.

I was just at my local bike shop for my first service appointment. While there they informed me that the plastic end pieces are out of stock at Yuba…

Looking further into replacements, this is all I could really find on the web: https://www.amazon.com/Shepherd-Hardware-9115-1-Inch-Plastic/dp/B000I17D38/ and that thing is for chairs.

Truly, I would like to find something more substantial, and a little thicker to give me an extra 1/4 inch lift to keep the bike stable on uneven ground and steeper grades.

FYI, this kickstand is stock on the spicy curry, but it is either included or compatible with the sweet curry, mundo, boda, and kombi.

    We got our selves a 10k+ mile Bullitt. It’s seen so many sets of tires and pads…

    The rubber wore off, replacements were pricy, rubber caps from Amazon wore through in a week, aluminum started to wear to the point it would wobble from not being lifted to needing these feet…
