What should I use to lubricate my kickstand? The kickstand that came with my bike is rusty and is difficult to adjust. What should I use for lubrication?
Grease. You want a lubricant that will stick around. WD40 is a degreaser and is designed to penetrate, lubricate then evaporate. Which is great for removing something that's stuck. But for a kickstand you want it to keep working for a long time. So, grease.
