Another day at the office.<\/p>\n

I always make sure of one thing whenever I install a kickstand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“What can I do to not scratch the frame”.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the picture, there are these dots on the plate of the kickstand, in order to not make them slip.<\/p>\n

I always didn’t like installing these kickstands on bikes that doesn’t have a kickstand mount, so I was always searching for a solution…<\/p>\n

I’m going to share my best solution.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Y’all still got a strip of leather bar tape laying around your home right? That is what you need.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Apply some super glue on the plate.<\/p>\n

Make sure you use the ones that dries up quick and the ones that sticks well on leather and aluminum.<\/p>\n

Now you got your self a kickstand with leather grips.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apply the leather on both of the plates and cut off the extra parts of the leather.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, install the leather as usuall. Be sure to not let the leather piece move.<\/p>\n

It’s even better to apply thread-locking fluid.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hope this helps someone out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":136385,"template":"","better_featured_image":{"id":136385,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1280,"height":960,"file":"2022\/09\/17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A.jpeg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A-640x480.jpeg","width":640,"height":480,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":43483,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A-640x480.jpeg"},"medium":{"file":"17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A-900x675.jpeg","width":900,"height":675,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":72450,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A-900x675.jpeg"},"large":{"file":"17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A-1048x786.jpeg","width":1048,"height":786,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":92096,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A-1048x786.jpeg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A-800x600.jpeg","width":800,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":59873,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A-800x600.jpeg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"filesize":327589},"post":136383,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/17F97A93-0140-4B4F-BC84-1A338BF3075A.jpeg"},"acf":{"not_to_displayed_on_top":null,"ctm-post-priority":null},"post-meta-fields":{"_edit_lock":["1670061597:41"],"_edit_last":["48"],"_thumbnail_id":["136385"],"_my_meta_value_key":["[{\"pid\":29438,\"name\":\"*PLETSCHER* double kickstand (black)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/pletscher-double-kickstand-black.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/1\/i\/1img_9216.jpg\"},{\"pid\":29437,\"name\":\"*PLETSCHER* double kickstand (silver)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/pletscher-double-kickstand-silver.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/2\/i\/2img_9206.jpg\"},{\"pid\":26669,\"name\":\"*VELO ORANGE* copenhagen dual leg kickstand\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/velo-orange-copenhagen-dual-leg-kickstand.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/8\/5\/859f27c24f8dd8d7e82b4a7275eb5546.jpg\"},{\"pid\":26670,\"name\":\"*VELO ORANGE* porteur double kickstand\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/velo-orange-porteur-double-kickstand.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/1\/4\/14c990c3c11f25e4a28a6166a5d523c8.jpg\"},{\"pid\":29878,\"name\":\"*BL SELECT* greenfield kick stand (silver)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/bl-select-greenfield-kick-stand-silver.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/_\/d\/_dscf0428.jpg\"}]"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global\/136572"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review-global"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
