I went through four bolts before finally just ditched the kickstand. And I HATE not having a kickstand - sometimes a tree or fence post isn't around. And I get tired of the question...hey did your kickstand fall off?

I tried keeping it lubricated, I tried various different bolts, and I tried putting nylon shims in and it still gummed up and bent. I have never had this much trouble with a kickstand ever. I'm not sure if the bolt, itself, is the problem or just the design...crap just seems to get into the bolt hole and seize the thing up.

I wish the frame covered both sides of the top of the kickstand so that the bolt just making contact with the frame and not with the kickstand directly.
