Like Tom, I give the outer leg a little nudge when I fold the twin legged on my Joe Appa with 50mm tires so that it does not rub.
I have always been a fan of kickstands in general, as well as fenders, racks and lights on all bikes, but honestly I have been using my kickstand a lot less lately! It is rare that there is nothing to lean it against AND I want to stop AND I want my bike upright.
