[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 163971, member: 302"] Andy, Thanks for your input, I did not study that well at school, so words like hypotenuse are somewhat of a mystery to me, but I am sure I could understand it if I really put my mind to it, and I thank you for your offer of assistance in that matter. Another member has suggested a method that might be simpler for me to understand, and the suggestion seems to be this, use a string line by trapping a string line under the front tyre, and with bike on the stand in the current position, mount the string line onto a piece of wood or any substance directly under the lowest point of the rear tyre at a height that I would like the rear tyre to be above ground level, say approx 20mm, mark off the position of the tight string onto the stand leg, and cut off what lies below that line, allowing also for the thickness of the stand feet to be welded back on the stand legs, I am sure this will work fine, does everyone agree?
