I use a hacksaw after I eyeball it. Haven't cut too much yet and I've done this many, many times. I also prefer to leave it a bit longer than it might be, since this seems to help hold the bike up when it has a load on the rear. *My* question is, how tight do you have to clamp one onto the chain stays if your frame has no mounting plate, in order to prevent it coming loose? I do use leather padding, but I am prone to over torquing and slightly denting the stays (though I only put stands on beaters, so I am not over troubled by doing this. I'd rather have dents than a loose stand. > Michael > > > -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM Professional Resumes.
