  This does the job. I've used a Click-Stand on my Troll for a couple of years. Works ok, but your bike can still get knocked over if it's bumped. Tried a kickstand on the chainstay, but my heel hits the kickstand when I pedal. I've looked at these adapters for a few years, but I felt the price was too steep. Well, I finally pulled the plug, Wish I would have purchaed them years ago. Used the adapters to install a Pletscher ESGE kickstand. Easy to install by putting the Troll on my stand and removing the rear wheel. Works perfectly!

• 
  @craigrmeyer5 ай бұрын

  I loaded my Duo racks DOWN with small-size panniers absolutely chock-a-block FULL of crap. Tools and spare parts, paperwork, hunks and bits of metal. Not one problem ever. I imagine I'd bend my fork first (which fortunately didn't happen).

  @jacquesdevaud38826 ай бұрын

  This is an ingenious solution! I bought the adapters and installed a kickstand on my wife's Ogre. The adapters seem sturdy and finely machined (printed). However, I faced 2 issues. The first is that the back edge of the kickstand mount overlapped where the quick-release acorn nut needs to sit to allow full insertion of the rear wheel. So I cut a bit off a corner of the kickstand mount to fix that issue. The second issue is that a 30mm screw was too long so I bought 25mm and they work fine.

  I recently got a look at a Bridge Club, and I don't see the Rohloff slot or an easy place to put a normal kickstand.

  Very cool video! I first saw one of those while in Nyaungshwe, a city at the north end of Inle Lake in Myanmar’s eastern Shan State back in January of 2002. The low open bed trailer it was pulling was carrying some of the local residents, and I was very intrigued. I would see one again in Cambodia (March 2009) and am sure I will see more when I travel to Laos next month. Thanks for posting.

  ​@@craigrmeyer I got one maybe just as crazy. I am a commercial pilot in the USA doing Forest fire suppression during the summer and in the winter living in Thailand for 8 months every year for the last 15 years. Thailand has been my home and the USA has just been summer vacation but i got stuck in Thailand when it closed for covid and i tried to fly out like i always do to renew my visa but after i purchased my ticket online March 14 and went to the Airport they said i could not board the plane because everything just closed that morning. I told them my visa expires in a few days and they said that i would be ok to stay. Visa amnesty was March 26 and my visa expired March 16. I received a letter from my Embassy to give Thai Immigration but months later i was stopped and checked and that letter was in my condo. So they got me on a 10 day overstay from March 16 to 26 even though i was not allowed to board the plane prior to my visa expired and they said it would be fine. The judge in court just gave me a warning and a 2000 baht fine which i paid but later back at the police department the police took that paper work and ripped it up asked me for 60k baht then didnt report it to my embassy . Thai Immigration in Bangkok said they would have not done that to me . I will try and fix this at the end of this summers work but i might be staying in Cambodia instead. sorry this is long but nice to share the story.

They should have it though, seemed to me you get can anything you want from the pharmacies. Tramadol is trash btw, and caused me many seizures. I was addicted to it back when I was living in the Philippines since that's the closest thing they have to an "opiate" they have. Im an addict myself so I know how it felt like being there in Cambodia lmao. I didnt even know everything there was over the counter until I went to a pharmacy in Siem Riep for some advil or tylenol, and then I see that they're selling 30mg oxycodone over the counter.
