I have followed this thread with interest. I have two click-stands; they are light, but time consuming enought to use that I only end up using them when setting up the bike for an extended period (like overnight). They work well with a loaded touring bike. I have thought about the twin leg kic

Pete Thank you for the link to Hebie - wow! I have a kickstand mounting plate on my Bombadil, but I also had little success with the Pletscher stand, even before starting my tour. I know others have had spoken highly of the two-legged Pletscher, but the bike simply wasn't stable in wind or on un

That is probably the sensible thing to do. Riv and other US manufacturers have have learned from the Europeans and started to fit such plate on some models so there seem to be a need for it. Besides, you get to pick your favorite colour! :P After my experience with the ESGE-Pletscher I tried to g

Yikes! In the near future I want to send my All Rounder to Mark N. and have a plate put on. Pretty easy to get that done, it's then having it re-painted that kills ya'! DE On Sun, Aug 16, 2009 at 1:19 PM, Pete wrote: > > The Bleriot chainstays are probably a bit thicker than most tube sets. >

The Bleriot chainstays are probably a bit thicker than most tube sets. But I must tell you I had a very disappointing experience of the ESGE- Pletscher double stand. Mounted a new one to my converted MTB-tourer made from Tange Prestige, not the ul-light version, for a six month tour from Singapore

I've recently rediscovered kickstands after decades of thinking they were too geeky for my bikes. In fact, I've kind of become sort of a kickstand evangelist! I've got experience now on several bikes with three major types of stands, the two you describe and the pletscher double kickstand. They al
