OK, so my kickstand bolt had worked loose today, so i got home, and took it all to bits, cleaned, stripped, and regreased everything, and then used medium strength locktight to put the bolt back in , but thought it would look better black. I used satin black enamel paint. sorry about the photo quality, took it on my tablet.
thanks guys, i have just ordered a set of red and black spoke wraps.... should be here later this week. Will post some pictures when i have them on. I will be ordering a red chain and sprocket set too from huskysport in the UK, and getting the 46 tooth rear, as i will then have two sets, 38 for distance, and 46 for short journey fun.
yeah, although i have kind of got used to it putting itself up now.... better than forgetting, and riding off with it down, lol.
