Yuba Spicy Curry Kickstand Hack

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.

Problem solved: Speed wobble on LvH Bullitt

So I realized I posted that other message a few times. I removed the old ones with out comments Lemmy wasn’t showing them so I kept trying and now I see there were a few of the same posts. Anyways, Problem: Speed wobble over 25mph and during specific road surface and load distribution scenarios. Attempts: Elastic cord tensioner scheme. 1. Used a old dropbar clamp to make a attachment point on the left side of fork to mirror steering linkage arm on right side. 2. Adjustable tension loop to frame. Max elongation set at furthest turning point. Created feedback spring effect that was fine but felt funny. Removed. 3. Adjustable tension loop from left bottom of frame to steering arm. Goal was to put tension on system to reduce harmonics. Still installed Solution: Replaced headset top half with [Cane Creek Viscoset ZS 44/28.6 ](https://www.jensonusa.com/Cane-Creek-Viscoset-Upper-Headset-Top-Assembly-ZS44286?loc=usa&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqNqkBhDlARIsAFaxvww1Pkcn8fIyrk3aqotyOnsBpJe7hCDXJDb3Td1mlzX_g1LzyR_HP4UaAlp0EALw_wcB) Big thanks to Kash at WarmPlanetBikes for the tip! New top speed is 43 mph downhill. *not with kids of course…
