kickstandholeplugmonkey - where can I find one - TAKE MY MONEY!
My double Pletscher has one of the Pletscher-specific rubber top plates.
Where it contacts the bottom of the frame I used a folded-over (2-layer)
piece innertube. I'll let you know how it turns out when I remove it

Thanks again to all for input and replies.
And thanks to Dave S for recommending the frame-specific kickstand plates.
Got a pair, they work great. Part of the trouble with the existing plate
(installed by previous owner or their mechanic) is that it was a modified
Pletscher plate. Had to be
I have a HubbuHubbuH tandem with a kickstand plate. I found that when I

Does installing the kickstand with the upper part of the "sandwich" confer
some benefit--maybe spreading the stress load a bit more? I thought having
a brazed on kickstand plate like Rivs (and this Surly) have eliminated the
need for that top clamp.
I agree the bike should be fine with those

Thanks for the input, Eric, I appreciate it.
My stand had the same pieces of rubber on the top of the stays (one was
cracked) but crunched the bottom!

P.S. My Soma Saga came with a kickstand installed, and whoever built the bike
