Joe, I know how worried you were about your paint and now your custom hauls laundry?! This is huge, huge progress. So impressed. And locking up at Walmart can be really scary. Good for you. I’m so glad your custom is doing all the things you meant for it to do. I’m sure you would never be happy rid

My Hunq is a daily driver and has the dings and scratches to show for it. Probably the worst one is that the kickstand plate is pried partially loose — no big deal, I just took the kickstand off and used the mounting hardware to snug things back up. Worst case scenario for me is that someday I tre

Cliffhanger rims? The Homage is not "tubeless compatible" though plenty of

The discussion turned to lights. Add a front hub generator and a light,

That looks great. What is the color? Looks like a golden bronze to me.

Thank you! It’s a prismatic color called whiskey bronze. The accents are
RAL 1013.

When I was talking to Will about getting a double legged kickstand he warned me
about the “peeling” mounting plate on the Clems. But, he thought I would be ok
they had beefed them up. So far so good.

What does a peeling mounting plate look like? Anyone have pictures? Not
that I have kickstands on any of my bikes --- the one on the triplet got
taken off ages ago... Just curious.

I don’t have a picture, just imagine the weld giving way and the plate separating from the seat stays. I was using a double-legged kickstand at the time and carrying a fair amount of cargo (see attached), and evidently the seesawing action was enough to pry things loose. It bummed me out for maybe
No damage to the frame? Or did you have to get it repaired?

No damage that I could detect. The kickstand plate isn’t integral to the frame, it’s just tacked on with some not-very-strong welds. I’m fairly certain it could be removed with only superficial damage to the paint, but then I’d have nothing to attach a fender to. Jay LonnerBellingham, WASent from m

Thanks for starting this thread, Leah. I enjoy your writing… as I enjoy

see some humor there, whether he intends it or not.

I thought about it. It all kinda came together quickly and I needed my bike

Hi Jay,
Today, I just installed a double-legged kickstand on my Clem "L". If I do
not carry a heavy loads on the back end of my bike, like you did, I should
be fine ?...regarding possible damage of separating the kickstand frame
plate.
Thank-you,

I've not mounted the Homage, but I've mounted a wide array of tires to
Cliffhangers, both in 26 and 650b. Wire bead tires are fairly easy to
mount, especially with the depth of the well and the amount of internal
space. A bit harder time than I've had with other rims, but not so bad.

Kim,I guess I’d put myself in the “once burned, twice shy” camp — I personally wouldn’t install a kickstand again, unless maybe the mounting plate was super bomber. That’s something you’ll have to assess for yourself. I keep meaning to order a Flickstand but haven’t gotten around to it, which goes

Wow, that looks amazing! Your powder-coater did a great job. Very, very nice
work.
I love the color! I especially dig the cream in the RBW windows on the head
tube. Nice touch!
Who is your powdercoater?

I thought I'd bring this over here instead of continuing to hammer Leah's
'Using Your Rivendell' thread.
Do we have any reports of plates separating from the stays from a
single-leg kickstand, or are they all double-leggers? My experience with
both is this:
