Bike stand adaptor
KDean:
Looking at the adaptor that would allow you to fit a stand to certain models , wouldn't that creat even more leverage to the frame ? Does anyone have one or just used a standard kick stand ?

There is an aluminium plate that can be attached to the nomad mk3. I’m not sure if that’s what you mean?
This guy has one and gives his opinion on it . Skip to 15 minutes in and watch from there

Also , you probably know this but just incase …
I think if you use a kickstand on your nomad it voids the warranty or something . Think Thorn feel the frame can be damaged by them
Someone else can clarify
mickeg:
I was unaware that Thorn advised against kickstands until a couple years after I installed a Greenfield one.
It is my understanding that Thorn may refuse to honor a warranty if you use one like mine, so think about this carefully.
Mine, if the front wheel can roll, the bike might roll forward and fold up the kickstand. So, sometimes I have to lock the front wheel with an elastic on the brake lever. Third photo (photo is a different bike, but same method).
