When you say the uppermost part of the hole is okay, do you mean the bit nearest the vee, or the bit that is uppermost when the stand is folded up? Phil

My B40 is 9" and my C15 is 8", the difference is due to the different sized wheels: 18" vs 17"Spaceman, Thanks very much for the info and obviously I absolutely believe the figures you gave me, but didn't know whether the stand on your bike was standard, or difficult to use, or what, so just thought I'd ask for further comments. Sorry for any offence, and thanks again. I had looked at Rupert Ratio (vol 2), and read the relevant bits, hoping to find sizes, but stupidly hadn't noticed that the photo (p. 163) has a tape measure on it! I'll also check mine for the part number which is supposed to be cast on the inside of the legs ('40' for C15, '41' for B40, which I imagine has caused misunderstanding occasionally over the years.) Then I guess I'll shorten the feet, and have a look at the spring - thanks for pointing that out, Dave.
