Leaving a bike on a kickstand for ages

Matthewfalle

Illusion is the correct word for it comes from the Latin Illuminati who control the worlds governments and banking systems.

The Rothchilds are a major part of this organization.

No one has EVER proved this theory to be wrong.

The Illuminati even control the kickstand on my bike. They control everything. Even Ugo.

pinno

I thought Ugo was the Illuminati.

Matthewfalle

Ugo controls the Illuminati. He built the H Plus Sons upon which their business interests roll.

I think you're all missing the obvious concern here. Mexico earthquake, massive destruction in the Carribean, and flooding there and the U.S. and Asia. All has happened since Rumbataz started using his kickstand. For Gods sake man, just lean your bike against the garage wall!

pinno

But what about de-stabilising the garage?

orraloon

No! What about the Domino Effect? Lean against the wall, pressure, ultimately failure, brings down next door's wall, and so on, ad infinitum. Trumpie wouldn't like his Bigly Wall to end like that now would he?

Well that's just great. For the love of God, remove that kick stand.

The Butterfly effect has now morphed into the Kickstand influence. It's a weapon of mass destruction.
Thank someone that Kim wotsisname hasn't got his hands on a kickstand.

If there are too many pages on a kickstand and that kickstand is at an angle then it will slow down the rotation of the Earth.

How many is too many? Well, 11 and counting...

12 now... in a couple of weeks. Compare that with 8 pages only over twelve months for the thread on Velo Birmingham. One would be temped to think the interest in riding bikes is somewhat less than that for kickstands

Or that no one really cares about anything in Brum and fancies a laugh here.

One of the two I suppose.

orraloon

Brum? Isn't that the place which is full of considerably richer than yow Leave voters?

My missus has a Pashley, bought 2 or 3 years ago. It's been ridden twice in that time, the rest of the time it's just stood there leaning slightly on its stand looking lonely.
Could be completely bu**ered but I suspect it's fine.

I would like to report that now this thread has got to 12 pages it has shaken things up to the extent, that the missus actually rode her bike today. She went down the market to the Coop and back, it's probably going to lead to the end of the world as we know it.

It's all comparatives - they are considerable richer than other people in The Midlands but far less richer than anyone else south of Watford.

They also talk funny.

Does that mean that there are more kickstands per head of population anywhere in the UK aside from Nottingham?

F1 cars are never left static on the ground for long. If the tyres are fitted, standard procedure, even on the start line, is to lift the car. The reason for that is avoid any unnecessary deformation of the tyres. So if a light F1 can deform its four wide tyres, how can a bike on a kickstand not have any negative effect on its components?

Compare rpm of F1 wheels and Pashley wheels.
Deformation on the Pashley will only be felt occasionally over a period of 3 years.

The kickstand is taking weight off the tyres when the bike is static. You should install at least two of them per bike. What if you get off the bike on the drive side???

2 won't work as the bike will either be left on the front or the back wheel. If you want to suspend the bike, I would suggest sky hooks - available from all good Specialist Levitation outlets.

I'd imagine that Team Sky are all over this. It would explain that time when Wiggins tossed his bike away and it refused to topple over. Also Froome falls off a bit less these days. Hmm. Physics doping.

I bet he's got more kickstands at his disposal than Trump has. The new super power has emerged changing the world order because of this thread! We need kickstand shelters to protect us from the peril.

We should get Kickstarter closed down just in case.

So F1 teams use kickstands to lift the cars? Where on the car and how many?

I worry about leaving my bike in the bikestands you just put your wheel into. Surely that isn't good for the spokes to be resting against the stand?

I think a kick stand is a much better idea, especially over the long term.

Now you've just steered this thread into a tangent. Please start a new thread titled "Leaving a bike on a kickstand for ages" and express your concerns about not leaving a bike on a kickstand there.

Not called wheel benders for nothing, although Bender the Robot gets a bit arsey about them being called that.

In other news I left the turbo flywheel engaged over the weekend and it left a dent in the tyre.

Am I going to die if I ride the turbo?

Yes, without a shadow of a doubt. But it's pretty unavoidable whatever you do.
