Has anyone ever figured out a simple permanent fix on the seat slider
deal? Last weekend, my front ones were accidentally broken -- this
after years of being very careful with them since Bike-E went out of
business.

Also, anyone had any experience with using another type of 16-inch
wheel. I am thinking of something from a child's bike. Sturdy and good
quality. The reason I ask is because the front bearings are getting a
little crunchy and I was quote a $65 price to repack. Seems like I
could get a whole new wheel and tire for that.

And one other thing. Years ago the kickstand bolt sheared off. Anyone
know of a simple bolt, strap or clamp kickstand that would work?

Thanks...I really like my CT, but same as all of us...age brings on
issues.
