That rusty bolt, argh!
It was a big disappointment to discover the supplier provided such crap bolts that corrode so easily. I recognized this early on, so all the Counterpunches have been shipping with stainless steel bolts since before the end of last year; but clearly too late for Pete's set.
I have extra stainless steel bolts, so if you have a set with undesirable orange patina, hit me up. If you're local enough you can swing by and grab replacements, or I can snail mail them within Canada for free. A dollop of chain lube also works wonders with the old bolts.
