I would love to see how you did the transverse roller wheels, and kamoya stand. (Cyclodonia has them, gorgeous stuff there )
I have too many rough sidewalks in my life.
Brompton needs to keep that reinforcing bar for the old M bars in production, hose clamps are just inelegant. Useful but bulky and snag things.
It is raining cats and dogs here today and during the day I am at work, but I will try something. There is a
post there in the past on the transverse rollers.

Why two kickstands?
Also, on your rear dropout, non drive side, there is some thing else there beside the kickstand. What is it?
Thanks
Yes, any 3-speed indexed shifter should work. Some shifters are weak but not much force is needed to pull the Brompton rear derailleur.
The two kickstands are there because I sometimes heavily load the T-bag and the bike might lose balance with the T-bag on and only one kickstand active. Kamoya acts as a backup.
By the axle you have a Radical Design trailer hitch designed specifically for Brompton. They make it for use with their own trailers, but you can adapt any other trailer to work and I have used it with Bike Friday system.
