Re: [RBW] 2-legged kickstand options/opinions
I have 3 of the Hebie 605s. I have a dual Pletscher, and it's not being used. The Hebies are far superior in terms of stability (and probably twice as heavy). No problem clearing 52mm fenders. All 3 bikes have the option of mounting 2 child seats, so stability is paramount. Note that the Hebies come in 3 lengths, are not adjustable, and the guidelines for choosing the right size are super conservative. I ended up with one that is way too long by using the info on the Hebie website. Better to measure in person if you can...

Re: [RBW] 2-legged kickstand options/opinions
Going to get out the file this weekend and see if I can adjust the fit of the Pletscher in the offending area. That is, in fact, the RBW suggestion. I'll check out the VO as well. As the Bombadil has a kickstand plate I am pretty locked as far how the stand sits in relation to the bike.
