"Blue Lug putting incompatible products on their builds" is a weird comment, especially given these bikes are made with kickstand plates and should then theoretically be designed around them working. I'm surprised there are issues with Clems and double kickstands, I used one on my 1st gen Clem H for years with 48mm tires, the extra long chainstays pushed the tire back beyond the curve of the kickstand and there was like acres of empty space around it. I guess the geometry changed some since then.That double Pletscher is now on my wife's Hillborne, and while it does sometimes hit the tire when folding up otherwise has no rub and it's her daily commuter.
