THat's cool then, pics can be misleading... If you want to be sure, just tip it on the sidestand so that the rear wheel lifts off and see if it touches, that's maximum extension as soon as the wheel's off the ground. It's probably just not as tight as it looks.

WHich begs the question, why has nobody else done it
