I've got a single leg Pletscher on my AHH, it's really not adequate when I load up my trunksack. Next Riv order will include a two-legger. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To view this discussion on the web visit

I have mixed feelings about the Pletscher 2-legger. It's definitely more stable than a 1-legger but both my wife and I tend to put too much confidence in it, and both of our bikes (Hilsen and Betty) have fallen over several times while on the stand. I understand the falling over when it's

With the bike built up especially the rack, the tentacular stays blend right in don't call attention to themselves. It'll take serious bike nerds to even notice. dougP On Feb 19, 2:49 am, Tom Harrop twhar...@gmail.com wrote: Hi RBW, I've finally put the finishing touches together, so

I use a single leg on my 58 cm Atlantis have to be careful when I have bags on the rear. With front low riders and a stuffed handlebar bag it's OK. But 58 isn't overly tall either. I tried a clickstand a while back, it really works well but is a bit of a nuisance to use. A couple of my

Yes, because this one http://flic.kr/p/bafis6 is clearly inadequate, you oughta be ashamed! Jokes aside, have you (or has anyone else) had problems with tall, heavy bikes, carrying bags and/or baskets loads, toppling over on kickstands? I was planning to put one of the two-leggers on my Bomba,

I've found that a cheap, Greenfield rear-dropout stand works better with heavy rear loads, even assymetrical loads, than any Pletscher or Velo Orange 2-leg stand. Trikes work better than the Greenfield. On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 6:17 PM, Tom Harrop twhar...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, because this one
