This may have been covered already, but after just a few months of winter the outer ring bolts are rusting on my new Method Double Standards ... any easy fixes or just replace them all with stainless? NOT HAPPY!!

I replaced the rusting zinc coated bolts on my Doulbe Standars with the silver/stainless bolts that come with the Standards and the new Mesh - IMO they look way better and will hold up to road salt. The zinc coated bolts were trashed in less than 6 months.

You can always get some rustoleum not sure if that's how you spell it and paint them. Have the same problem after winter.

The salt they put on the roads here in UT literally dissolved the zinc coating on the bolts in one winter so I doubt rustoleum paint would hold up. I never liked the gold look anyway and stainless is the ticket.
