One way to do it, ...

Take out the BB

shove A Cork down the chain-stay tube a ways past where the KS will clamp.

fill the rest of the tube with Epoxy putty, let it cure to hardness..

That will prevent the chain stay tube from being distorted by clamping on the kickstand.

Put BB and Crank back on, then install the kickstand.

Note : People have put Kickstands on their LHT's any how.. just the guys that designed them don't like kickstands.
So their bias has made the choice for their customers.


I think Salsa were OK with kickstands , you can leave them off if you wish..

The Builder, Maxway just follows customer instructions.
