My 81 will never roll back onto the stand. The bike may not be lifted straight up, but it certainly does need lifting.
I think that's the point with these problem stands.
My stand no longer has the little square pad for my foot, so I do miss some of the leverage offered by pushing down on the stand at that point.
Maybe I should weld another plate on there and use the stand as designed, which would certainly make it easier.
If I'm fully loaded for touring and deploying the stand on a backwards down hill slope, it is way easier to use.
At 6'2" the problem is just under the threshold of being a 'must fix' situation.
