I rwally like the double legged stand for my Hunq, but the kickstand plate broke. I think it was a combination of several hundred miles of fully loaded touring and I didn't trim the legs enough. Riv was happy to replace it,even offered to reinstall and repaint,but I tookcare of that locally. I've had no clearance problems, even with Schwalbe Alberts. The double stand is great now that it's cut down and remounted.
