Cross tube is the one that gets most of the crap and blasts the paint off, I did the RT stand last week, the same has I have done on the last few bikes few bikes I have owned
4 Coates of black hammerite paint then used Spiral Wrap which is a tough polypropylene material to wrap round the cross tube, the polypropylene takes all the crap leaving the paint to stop the metal rusting
