I thought I'd bring this over here instead of continuing to hammer Leah's 'Using Your Rivendell' thread.
Do we have any reports of plates separating from the stays from a single-leg kickstand, or are they all double-leggers? My experience with both is this: I used a double-legger on a Clem and could really load that bike up, I'm familiar with that rocking sensation of all the weight torquing on the stand. On my custom I use a single leg (the stock one that came on Clem completes a few years ago) and it's not very strong. It supports the bike fine and I can put a small shopping load in the bags, but as soon as I start to overdo it I can feel the bike getting wobbly like the stand wants to give out on me. My guess in this scenario is the single-legger is warning me before the plate gets too stressed, whilst the double will let you load all day until the plate gives up. Whaddyathink?
