The kick stand caps that came with the bike wore through. The local bike shop was not able to get replacements. So… 3D print some. I tried to add a bevel to make it an easier rock up onto the kick stand.
The hole is a little large for the leg, since I used the kickstand as metal on ground for a bit, meaning I need a bit of extra room to get them on. A dab of hot glue works wonders.
Mirror for left/right combo.
I would recommend printing on its side so you have less chance of shearing off the bottom layers (happened in an earlier version for me). I printed this one at an angle, but needed supports.
Have been using for a bit and working well.
Hope this helps!
