Michael, I suspect there's an official answer from Riv and what some folks are willing to file on to make that kickstand work. As Grant once said to me about some project or another I asked about, "...after that you're on your own, Joe." On Tuesday, December 28, 2021 at 7:18:30 PM UTC-8

I've never had to do it and apparently no one else here has, either, so I'll offer advice: Big pliers in heavy towel, grab that raised edge so you're off the smooth surface, squeeze gently and twist. Good luck! Joe Bernard On Tuesday, December 28, 2021 at 4:55:19 PM UTC-8 Sam Perez wrote: >

"Your" Paul brake boss removal: do you mean the brazed-on projections on fork legs and seat stays on which the brake arms pivot? I know Paul canti brakes but not, specifically, Paul bosses, but if you mean the "axles" on which canti and V brake arms pivot, I've done this with non-Paul bosses:
