The Pinhead system has also been around forever, and I'm sure there are others. (When I was a messenger I used to just lock my skewers closed with hose clamps.) I'm not thrilled with the fact that you need to carry a wrench around with the NutFix system, but I guess it's not a big deal.<br /><br />There's a NutFix for the seat too, but they didn't send me one.<br /><br />--Wildcat Etc.<br />BikeSnobNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256142855437740163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-7353908368034999242017-08-08T15:55:45.838-04:002017-08-08T15:55:45.838-04:00vsk said ...

Spot mugging as they say in the fishing biz.<br /><br />I couldn't wait around for an autograph but I did do a lap around the park to look and came across a guy with a nice touring bike with windowed lugs and cantilevered brakes.

Peter White imports them from Germany. They have a wide variety of key nut and socket sets, so the chance of someone having a match is pretty small. You carry one steel socket and any one of your allen keys,which you pass through two holes the sides of the socket to turn it, or you can use a wrench,15mm I think. The locking skewers look pretty minimal on the bike, too; smaller than the one reviewed today. The set comes with one for the seat, too, so all you need is the smallest U lock to lock any part of the frame to a secure object. <br /><br />An idea that I am interested in is a keyed 2-part frame, so you just open the frame, put it around an object, and lock it back together. Then you wouldn't need the U lock.<br /><br /><br />Dave Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094057519667313091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-7503095358179797392017-08-08T15:38:38.205-04:002017-08-08T15:38:38.205-04:00The hidden message in that ABUS video, is that he ...The hidden message in that ABUS video, is that he did have NutFix, but due to poor locking technique, it was super easy for the thief to get his bike horizontal.Olle Nilssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236927144158018880noreply@blogger.com
