My new CrossCurrent X kickstand seemed way too short. Bike was leaning quite a bit and was close to falling sometimes while on the kickstand. I started looking online for a longer kickstand. I came across one that looked identical and said it was adjustable. So I took a look at back side of mine and was very pleased to see a screw there to adjust it! If you need to adjust yours just loosen the hex screw far enough until you can slide the bottom piece. Don't remove the screw all the way.
