Title: centre stand
Post by: Tickettyboo on March 24, 2025, 09:36:47 AM

Hello ,

I have just purchased a Thorn Voyager Tandem and want to fit a centre stand to use when parked up at shops etc. Can anyone advise one that works.

Cheers
Phil

Generally, Thorn recommends against kick stands for Thorn solo bikes.  I have never heard this question for a tandem, I do not know what their position on that is.

For some of their Rohloff bikes they make a add on plate to attach a side stand to.

I was unaware of their policy until years after I had installed a side stand on my Nomad Mk II.  I have had no problems with my side stand, still use it.

Have you asked SJS?
