There must be some slack in the angle of the Pletscher kickstand leg as otherwise I can't understand how Dan only gets light rubbing with his 2.25" tires and I get severe rubbing on my 2.1". I'm assuming the frame kickstand plates on the Appaloosas and Atlantises are the same.
Anyway it seems that lightly filing the kickstand leg is the way to go ...
