hi guys and gals i was just wondering if its a good or bad idea to remove the melal plate thats attatched to the frame that the old bike stand used to bolt to?
will i lose strength in the bike or not?
cheers
i’d recommend leaving it on there. at worst it adds a few gm’s of weight to the bike and at best it stiffens up and strengths the rear of the bb and the stays.
you can always grind it back a bit, if you’re having problems with tyre clearance, but i wouldn’t recommend removing it all together.
