*** changed title to reflect that it's a Commuter Booster friction drive, not Kepler drive (by yoyoman on 2017-07-27) **
I bought an older generation Kepler friction drive since the new gen would mount too far from the wheel on my Dahon Mu SL folding bike. It just arrived, and now I'm looking for advice on methods for mounting it on the kickstand plate. Ideas:
1) Any ideas on a stubby, solid tube about the size of a seat tube that could be drilled and mounted vertically with a bolt thru the kickstand plate into the solid tube. Then I'd use this solid tube as a fake seat tube and mount as usual. hmm, could this be 3d printed?
2) 1" x 3" block of wood that would be drilled thru the top for the bolt to mount to the kickstand plate. Then two holes would be drilled on the side for half of the original mounting system to screwed into the wood.
3) some sort of compression method where I'd put a plate under the two mounting pieces and drill a hole for a bolt to come from the bottom into the wide hole and out the kickstand plate. This seems like the easiest ...
