I keep my bikes pretty spotless and I was considering an Appaloosa when they
come out. Now it helps me make my mind up to swap the parts over and donate the
frame. Hopefully it is superficial but I won't trust it and if it does need
repair I would need to get it repainted, making that frame rea

Well I may have one to sell if you really want one.

Top plated double has caused no problems with my unstout plated
Waterfordborne Sam, glad I didn't have a short bolt handy at the time I was
installing it. I removed it anyways. So far I don't miss it, and having it
gone has given me the idea I should seek more stumps to jump when
unloaded/feath
My Sammy has a plate bent into a shallow U which captures the head of the
kickstand which prevents rotation under load.

A velcro legband also makes an excellent parking brake, wrapped tight
around the brakelever
An Arno Strap or Irish strap makes an excellent "Flopper Stopper" wrapped
tight around the downtube and front wheel

I've never been impressed with the stability of any chain stay/plate
located kickstands, especially their tendency to have the fixing bolt
loosen over time. Knowing that it could destroy a frame in some way makes
me double down on this feeling.

Patrick, I think you may be referring to the Ursus Jumbo. I tried it, it
was OK but it kept coming loose. Anyway, I'm with you on the left rear
dropout stands, as I said—I found it much better particularly when loading
up a stuffed saddlesack large.

Frankly, having tried Pletscher and VO 2-leg stands, as well as the usual
Greenfeld bb stand, I've found left rear dropout stands most effective at
holding up a bike under assymetrical rear loads, even with 20 lb in the
pannier on the stand-side and none on the opposite.
That said, I remember some

If a kickstand plate won't support a 2-leg kickstand, it is badly designed.
I installed a VO 2-leg stand on my briefly owned Sam Hill, and saw no
problem or intimation of a problem; have others used 2-legs on Sam Hills?
