Re: [RBW] Re: What do you use for saddle/seatpost security on your Rivendell?
I like the Abus 210 multi-loop cable lock. Yes, my bike lives indoors, but many times out riding may want to stop somewhere and go inside. It's a reasonable compromise between short-term security and weight.

Re: [RBW] Re: What do you use for saddle/seatpost security on your Rivendell?
Haha, but seriously is it only a NYC thing to use some old bike chain wrapped in a discarded tube? It can be made to look sort of not ugly. I think its like the "Club" for cars-it is a deterrent that makes a thief go onto the next bike that doesn't have one. Recently rigged up this setup for my buddy who has a nice brooks champion he came out to being wedged off his bike right in front of his job. No issues so far, though his seat cover was stolen, now its plastic bag time-I love Brooklyn, really! On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 2:10 PM, Robert F.

I'm not sure how that works on a daily basis, I think I'd get tired of hauling a door around everywhere. http://30thcentury.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/doored.jpeg :-) Aloha, Bob On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 7:54 AM, Peter Morgano wrote: > I use these things called doors, I lock my bike behind them where bad > people cant reach them. :) > > On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 1:43 PM, Robert F.

I use these things called doors, I lock my bike behind them where bad people cant reach them. :) On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 1:43 PM, Robert F.

Re: [RBW] Re: What do you use for saddle/seatpost security on your Rivendell?
Not that I've noticed, but I haven't had it off since I put it on - well I do loosen it a wee bit every so often and turn the seat a bit to make sure the post hasn't welded to the frame. To be honest though, even if it did a little damage I probably wouldn't worry much. I do enough damage to the finish everywhere else. I'm definitely not a pristine frame guy. I usually scrape something on my first ride on a new bike.
