Bike stand adaptor

‘Clocking’ is the word.

JohnR:
Thorn's adaptor https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gear-spares/thorn-dropout-adaptor-with-kickstand-mount-18-mm/ fits onto the rear dropouts which is one of the strongest parts of a bike frame. A kickstand which clamps behind the bottom bracket can damage the paintwork and result in corrosion while the chainstays are fairly slender so both more difficult to clamp to and more vulnerable to distortion.
