Oh boy. I’ve been using the bolt that came with the single-leg Pletscher
included in my buildout with a two-legged Pletscher that I bought from my
LBS. I’m a front-loader, so I feel pretty confident that I’ll be all
right, but this thread has got me thinking!

No, you were clear. I was agreeing with you. I imagine back then when this
was an issue Riv may not have spec'd plate thickness, thinking the factory
would know what gauge to use in that application. Or they just used what
was handy and ignored specswhoops.

Sorry I wasn't clear. Rivendell had kickstand plate failures with the
double leg plescher back when their kickstand plates were much thinner than
they are now. I doubt the current plates would have a problem.
I just measured and the old plates are 0.9 to 1mm and the new plates are
3mm. Huge
Yes, I can understand the mounting bolt or the kickstand legs, but not the
plate. At least not the one on my Clem. I guess if the plate is not beefy
enough it could be an issue. Definitely want to design it so that if
anything, the kickstand itself fails before any deformation of the frame is
The old kickstand plates pre-2013ish were A LOT thinner than they are now.
It didn't shear off because i noticed in time but the double plescher had
severely damaged by Sisters MUSA Sam hillborne kickstand plate (bent it
badly). It isnt a single time but repeated use with panniers full of stuff
I am confused by this. I can't imagine the weight of a kickstand "ripping"
a welded kickstand off of any bicycle. Not to mention what is the point of
a kickstand plate if it can't handle a kickstand, double or knot. I assume
you don't mean weight of the kickstand but maybe fully weighted
Ahhh I wondered why they stopped selling the double leg, thanks for the
info!

ripping the Kickstand plate off of Rivendell bicycles, so you should
actually mount it with the long bolt and chainstay sandwich, not the shorty
bolt directly to the plate. I suspect part of the problem may have been

I'm a fan of the Pletscher double and use it on my regular and currently
only rider (a beat up old Schwinn Traveler built as single speed with
700x38(aka '42mm' Continental Speedrides) and Chocomoose bars)) but
one word of caution is that it will limit tire width when unengaged and in
the 'up
I have the double on my Clem L, which has seen some heavy grocery loads in
the back o bike bags--I would guestimate north of 30lbs total. Nothing on
the front rack yet (still basketless at the moment.) Recommended.

I agree with Eric.
I have a double legged Joe A and it works well. AND it has fallen over a
bunch of times, too... Uneven ground, uneven weight.. gotta watch out. Best
thing when it is loaded is always a tree!
Good luck,
Edwin
