so, i havent been amazingly satisfied with my pletscher dbl leg stand. it just doesnt seem that stable with a load and it tends to make creaking noises that are not reassuring. i was at a bike shop a few months ago, and saw the same kickstand with a sticker that said "30lb weight limit" (it was in kg, but i did the math). i asked the bike shop guy and he seemed to have no idea if that was a legitimate statement, and i can find no weight limit listed anywhere online. its possible that that tainted my view of the kickstand's sturdiness.
back to real time. i was gonna another black version, since i at least know what im getting with the pletscher, and the others are mysterious to me. and i read this on the rivendell site "*NOTE: Don't bolt these on to Riv kickstand plates, those are for single leggers only. If you want to use a double, use the sandwich and run the bolt through the plate.**"* now, i dont really know what that means. does it mean that you are still supposed to use the top plate even with a kickstand plate? that would seem to defeat the purpose of a kickstand plate, since the top part cant fit between the chainstays and would therefore have to go on top. also, the product page with that warning, HERE <http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/k21.htm> , clearly shows it bolted directly to the kickstand plate. anyway, maybe im misreading it. maybe you are supposed to put the plate on top and run a really long bolt through pletscher plate>air>kickstand plate>kickstand? seems weird to me. more to the point, is anyone using a double leg kickstand that they really like for touring with loads and standing up on not always super smooth/flat ground. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
