I would think a single legger would inflict more twisting than a double legger. On Friday, August 14, 2015 at 6:30:53 PM UTC-7, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > I'll bet it has to do with twisting forces if and when the bike falls > over with a load. As Shawn said, "I sure wish they'd posted that >

Re: [RBW] Double leg Kickstands... lets talk

Don't want to jinx myself, but I've had my double legged on my Sam's plate for 4000 miles or so. Not too many loaded (unless you call my 35+ pound bike loaded) miles, but I often use it with my work pannier or a kid seat on the back. Maybe I'll be a bit more careful going forward. Living on t

Drew, I use one on my Surly LHT with sandwich-no kickstand plate on an LHT. It has supported a good 50lbs of weight with no problems while the bike was fully loaded on tour. I do hear it creak on occasion when used with a heavy load. My only other complaints are front wheel flop and issues of

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? On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 7:09 PM, Steve Palincsar wrote: > The purpose of a k

The purpose of a kickstand plate is to support a kickstand. Evidently experience has shown them that it won't properly support a 2-legged kickstand. Using the built-in plate is fine -- I'm pretty sure I'm using a built-in plate with a 2-legged kick stand on my Kogswell P/R Porteur -- but I do
