Update: Bike Friday sent a new rear triangle and my dealer installed it. Clearance between tire and caliper is much better. Should be able to fit a Marathon in the future. Bike was ordered with Kojaks. Chain still rubs on triangle when at the smallest cog. Still using a spacer to prevent rub. New issue. There's a pin to hold/attach the rear triangle. The matching hole in the new triangle is a bit off - pin doesn't go in. Needs a bit of filing.
New MKS US-S EZY clipless pedals installed. Seems nice; kinda heavy though. A bit of trouble releasing; might get better after a few more miles.
Since I haven't seen a pakiT up close yet, I'm just going by some pics. Looks like the kickstand threads through a tube. Is the tube brazed on or is that bolted? Because if there's a bolt hole, then it's do-able. I was thinking I'd have to bridge the kickstand legs and that's a bit more complex. Or one could do something like this:

How come you needed a new rear triangle? that's worrisome. I'm planning on folding the pakiT (assuming i get it) at least 6 times every day. Do you think it is made to withstand that? Did BF cover the labor cost with your dealer for the replacement labor?
