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 made a similar request on iBob, but the posting is probably more appropriate here: I'm on the hunt for an Ocean Air Cycles Erlen saddle bag support. This yet-to-be-found Erlen is intended for a Riv Road Standard restoration. Even compared to a Roadini, the Road Standard is short on

Hey Huston -- I have one I'd be willing to sell you. Just didn't work out for my setup, so I never really used it. I am with my gf on vacation, so I won't be able to sell it until I am back in DC next Saturday, but if you want it, you got it. Brand new. On Mon, Aug 24, 2020 at 2:16 PM Huston

With respect to visibility and lighting, I read somewhere that overall visibility is correlated with the size of the light, rather than its intensity. This made sense to me because lights don't have infinite energy supplies, so your 1 watt of LED light energy can be concentrated into one small

Based on driver behavior, my most high-viz outfit is a black dress suit and heels. I have a Cycliq 6 (and a 12 up front) and I could swear that daytime drivers behind me know that that thing is a camera. I don't turn on the light, just the camera, and it has a rotating indicator light.

I'm not so sure that having drivers more used to cyclists is all that helpful. I grew up in Boston and spent much of my adult life in the suburbs west of Boston; 1974 to 2002. Since then I've lived in a small town in south/central New Hampshire. It's very hilly around here so most of the natives

Stainless steel is about the weakest bolt you can get. A rusty grade 8.8 (typical at hardware store) can be stronger than a shiny stainless. Also there are counterfeit bolts coming out of China. (yes its actually a thing) I bet Taiwan bike manufactures aren't all that careful about their bolts.

A few years back there reports of the weight of the double kick stand 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 people

I like using these for being attention-grabbing in lower light conditions (in addition to standard headlight / taillight); in brighter light I would say the safety triangles / safety pizza is as good a line of defense as you can hope for. Other than just avoiding higher traffic streets at all

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
