Was sure kickstand springs were fine to stretch, then saw a 2-day gap between a before and after pic
A buddy sent me two pics of the same kickstand spring on his commuter bike, one from Monday and one from Wednesday, and the coil had clearly sagged maybe 3/16 of an inch just from him leaving it stretched while he had the wheel off. I'd always figured a few days of tension was no big deal, but seeing the gap change in 48 hours convinced me to just pull the spring off with a hook tool instead of letting it hang. How do you all store springs while a bike sits on the stand, or do you just swap them out once they get soft?
