Installing the Rolling Jackass on a Tern HSD Cargo Bike

Put a little grease on the first few threads of all hardware to prevent galling of the threads.

If you have a P Series (with a derailleur), remove the two M5 bolts holding the chain roller bracket in place and reinstall with the longer M5 bolts and spacers included in the Rolling Jackass hardware kit.

Slip the two M8 bolts through the stock kickstand plate holes with a washer under the head of each and tighten the nylock nuts in place. The bolt holes have some wiggle room so check to make sure the stand is square to the frame.

Route the actuation cable housing along the frame, retaining with zip ties, and install the shift lever on the handlebars.

Actuate the stand by pulling on the lever, and pull the bike back and up onto the stand. Take note of the elevation of the tire which has been lifted off the ground. Too high and it will be difficult to set the bike onto the stand, especially when loaded. Too low, and the bike may be unstable when parking on uneven or soft ground. Aim for about 1/2” by adjusting the threaded feet. Lock the feet in place by tightening the jam nuts against the leg with a 9/16” wrench.

Double check that the cable tension is sufficient to actuate the stand. When the lever is pulled all the way to the handlebars, the feet of the stand should be touching the ground. If not, there is a barrel adjuster on the lever, and one at the base of the stand that will allow you to fine tune the cable tension.

The stand is now ready for use!
