Is there anyone who has an ESGE Twin Kickstand and could measure the
distance from the ground to the top of the kickstand when the kickstand is
in use? I'm thinking of making an adapter to use the ESGE Twin Kickstand
with a Vision SWB.

The legs on my ESGE measure 14.25" from the bottom of the chain stays
to the ground. The bottom of the chain stays is ~13.5" off the ground.

Thanks for the quick response, Cletus.

Aren't the legs marked for trimming - shortening - to desired length?

Yes. I have a new (untrimmed) one here and the height to the top of
the mounting boss is approx. 310mm.

Yes they are. Numbered markings also allow you to cut both legs
equally. I'll assume that Cletus has an uncut kickstand in hand.

Hmmm... that's a good bit shorter than what Cletus reported. I guess I'll
need to purchase one before I firm up my adapter plans. I probably would
have done that anyway. I was just curious about how long the adapter would
need to be to make it work (and if it would be feasible)... and at least I
have the approximate distance it would have to reach.

Actually, my (all?) EGSE twin has mm marks on the legs. the last mark is 310mm and this is 10mm
from the tip of the leg. I think this mark measures the distance from the pivot point. The pivot
point is approximately 2" (~50mm) below the bottom of the chain stays (which is the measurement
point I reported previously) This 320mm + 50mm is very close to the 14.25" (362mm) I measured
earlier.

Mine is only marked up to 290mm (flush with the bottom of the leg),
while Cletus' is marked to 310 + 10, so maybe there are different
lengths.

Thanks again to both of you. I totally trusted that both of you were
reporting accurately, so it will be important to have a kickstand in hand
before I determine the appropriate length of my adapter.

I have two. both are stamped to 320mm (The 320 mark is clearly readable
on the second). I don't think there are different lengths. More likely
yours has been trimmed 30mm or well used :-).

I can assure you that this is brand new out of the box, never used. I
bought it to fit to our triplet, but it fouled the rear mech cables so
I need to do some tweaking before I can use it.

Don't you know? Everything is bigger here in Texas.

I can think of at least one notable exception, although it is now in
Washington, DC, along with the skull which contains it ;-)

They are definitely available in two lengths. I bought one recently for
the Dutch Speedbike and specified the longer one. I still needed a
wooden block bewteen the stand and the frame to make it work in the way
I intended.
