Oh boy. I’ve been using the bolt that came with the single-leg Pletscher
included in my buildout with a two-legged Pletscher that I bought from my
LBS. I’m a front-loader, so I feel pretty confident that I’ll be all
right, but this thread has got me thinking!

No, you were clear. I was agreeing with you. I imagine back then when this
was an issue Riv may not have spec'd plate thickness, thinking the factory
would know what gauge to use in that application. Or they just used what
was handy and ignored specswhoops.

Sorry I wasn't clear. Rivendell had kickstand plate failures with the
double leg plescher back when their kickstand plates were much thinner than
they are now. I doubt the current plates would have a problem.
I just measured and the old plates are 0.9 to 1mm and the new plates are
3mm. Huge dif
Yes, I can understand the mounting bolt or the kickstand legs, but not the
plate. At least not the one on my Clem. I guess if the plate is not beefy
enough it could be an issue. Definitely want to design it so that if
anything, the kickstand itself fails before any deformation of the frame is

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

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
Ahhh I wondered why they stopped selling the double leg, thanks for the
info!

I agree with Eric.
I have a double legged Joe A and it works well. AND it has fallen over a
bunch of times, too... Uneven ground, uneven weight.. gotta watch out. Best
thing when it is loaded is always a tree!
Good luck,

OK. We are talking two different things. The Click Stand I use is a
fold up device that snaps open like a tent pole. It has a U shaped
piece at the top that fits where the top tube and seat tube come
together. Set the brakes and the bike will stay put unless there is a
high wind.

You could do something similar with a QR cable stop, maybe.

That's been done in principle with BMX brakelevers. DiaCompe made one
with a little pushbutton. It was hard to do with one hand, but you'd
apply the brake, push the button and it would lock it on. Friction
held it in place so the next time you pull the lever, the button pops
out and away you go.
On a related note: someone ought to develop a brake lever with a built in
ratchet to act as a parking brake.

Yeah, that is the one. Lucky for him he is not relying on me to do
his marketing. He comes across as a pretty cool person, into riding.

I've heard that wallbike.com carries them, though you have to call as

Lots of people like the Esge two leg stands. I can only speak from my
experience and from comparing parking my wife's bike with parking my
bike for two months of touring. She seemed to be able to park anywhere
while I had to be a lot more selective.

It took me only a couple minutes of east bay mud on my new Bombadil to

The nice thing about a 2-leg stand is that it will hold the bike up when a
wheel is removed for repair (you may have to weight front or rear to keep
the bike's other wheel on the ground), which in my opinion (opinion only, as
I've not yet toured) might be good for loaded touring.

Only downside is you can't use them if you're into the kid-trailer thing
still.

+1 for the rear mounted stand. I've used a 2-legged ESGE stand and
single legged stands on bike tours and, while they are better than no
stand at all, they are finicky. I installed a rear triangle stand on
my wife's touring bike last summer. She could park on nearly any
surface and her bike was sta
