The old kickstand plates pre-2013ish were A LOT thinner than they are now.
It didn't shear off because i noticed in time but the double plescher had
severely damaged by Sisters MUSA Sam hillborne kickstand plate (bent it
badly). It isnt a single time but repeated use with panniers full of stuff
Stainless steel is about the weakest bolt you can get. A rusty grade 8.8
(typical at hardware store) can be stronger than a shiny stainless. Also
there are counterfeit bolts coming out of China. (yes its actually a thing)
I bet Taiwan bike manufactures aren't all that careful about their bolts.
Oops... 700c !
Thank you, Dave --

Nick, how do you like a 36 as your tallest and what is your FE/Cassette?
The smallest outer you can get now is a 40, so someone could do a 40/26,

I am confused by this. I can't imagine the weight of a kickstand "ripping"
a welded kickstand off of any bicycle. Not to mention what is the point of
a kickstand plate if it can't handle a kickstand, double or knot. I assume
you don't mean weight of the kickstand but maybe fully weighted kicksta

What Peter says. I'm reminded in particular of a discussion I had with
some of my farmer cousins who live in rural SE Missouri, which has very
hilly, winding back roads. They were complaining about not being able to
see cyclists when they came roaring over one of those hills or bends until

A few years back there reports of the weight of the double kick stand

Hey Huston --
I have one I'd be willing to sell you. Just didn't work out for my setup,
so I never really used it.
I am with my gf on vacation, so I won't be able to sell it until I am back
in DC next Saturday, but if you want it, you got it. Brand new.

With respect to visibility and lighting, I read somewhere that overall
visibility is correlated with the size of the light, rather than its
intensity. This made sense to me because lights don't have infinite energy
supplies, so your 1 watt of LED light energy can be concentrated into one
