I’m at that age where I notice little things, you know?
The sidestand is a super important part,
but
it’s completely unloved in reality.
You use the sidestand every time you get on and off the bike, right?
When it deploys smoothly
“whoosh”
oh wow, that’s cool! (*´艸`)
Am I the only one who thinks that?
By the way, when it comes to things you don’t like about your bike,
“it’s good to write them down,”
before you add aftermarket parts.
Could things get even better? The footwork area…
It’s quietly fun.
Yeah! It’s damn hard to deploy.
It’s hard to define what “easy to deploy” means, but…
“You can deploy it without looking at the stand”
That’s important.
If I’m being greedy, that’s the kind of thing I want.
This tool is excellent.
Metal craft:
RBR (Roll Bender Rivet) tools
You can bend round, square, and flat stock.
Adjustable by the finesse of your force.
An ultra-good tool.
I dislike the phrase “pay for itself.”
I want to enable quality work in less time.
I recommend it for people like that.
Back in the day I used bending dies.
With dies, there are limits to the arm length and pitch,
so making small items was a hassle.
That’s when I found this tool.
As long as it fits in the valley,
you can bend it freely.
No tricks needed— “Wait, it’s this easy?”
A truly excellent tool
is like that, I think.
*Complex shapes do require some technique though.
Like this,
I bent it!
Most importantly,
since there’s no heat, nothing gets burned.
“I want to bend it a bit more” is also possible.
High recovery rate! (*´ω`*)
Quick and easy,
I welded it!
With old bikes from overseas,
sometimes bolts are welded on—
that used to happen back in the day.
If it fits as close to original as possible
and looks good, I think you can love it even more.
Inevitably easy to deploy! ♪
I basically do this work on my bike all the time.
It’s a small thing, but
“little things add up to less fatigue.”
Keep accumulating improvements
and gradually make it your own.
Too much trouble, so I’ll use a stylus…
Just disassemble the sidestand once in a while, clean it, and oil it—
the movement becomes totally different!
