I am interested in a double leg kickstand but I'm unsure of which one is best. The German brand, "Pltscher" is a leading name but what about the other brands? Which one is the best at the task?

I love mine too. It's a boat anchor, but the convenience you add to your bike IMO is well worth it.

It's the beauty of the kickstand......you can take great pics of your bike anywhere. Lol. You described the moment perfectly. We were at a red light.

The ******** double leg kickstand is what I use on my daily commuter and it is something I could not live without. They are harder to get here in Canada, they cost double of what Americans pay, so I have two extra's in my parts bin for future use. Since the forum won't actually let me spell the name, it's the the P brand that comes from Switzerland and ends in "er".

different strokes for different folks hebie wont fold over to the left side , Esge does.

I have a double with a hard-to-pronounce name (sorry, don't have the bike with me and can't remember).
It works well. Can't be beat when loading the bike with groceries.

Indeed, I eradicated Esge for good from our bikes and, indeed again, some of its problems were being alleviated by stuffing it solid with grease.

I have a Pletscher on one bike and a much cheaper (sunlite?) on another bike. I actually prefer the cheaper one. It's a center stand style like motorcycle have. It's more stable than the pletscher and it can be deployed from either side of the bike.
They're both great though.
