[RBW] Re: what bolts?

A little late but be cautious of ordering from Atomic 22. Read this thread on another forum before you do. On Friday, February 12, 2016 at 1:08:31 PM UTC-5, Nathan Spratt wrote: > > I

[RBW] Re: what bolts?

I also supported the Hexlox kickstarter and ordered the saddle protection package. Thanks to Patrick Kelly and Will for posting these two interesting new security devices. I have VO security skewers on my Bleriot, but it's rather laughably easy for anyone to get hold of the security hex

Re: [RBW] Re: what bolts?

Well, I haven't actually ordered the security bolts like I said I was planning to. But I did jump in on an interesting kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hexlox/hexlox-anti-theft-for-saddles-wheels-and-more-made Probably should have just ordered the security bolts, but I'm a

Re: [RBW] Re: what bolts?

The Hexlox looks promising, I might back that. I ordered a few of the security bolts and found that it was easy to mis-measure. I ended up with quite a few wrong lengths... seatpost clamp was especially tricky to get right. Hexlox would solve that problem – All you need to know is the allen

[RBW] Re: what bolts?

Thanks for the tip about the upgrade available for the Allen wrenches. I bought the Security Bolts a couple of years ago, but gave up due to the poor quality tool that came with the bolts. My Riv has been fine here in the suburbs so far with a tether cable through the saddle, but I recently

[RBW] Re: what bolts?

I don't worry about securing seat or stem while riding my Riv. But I do when it's parked outside a store or cafe... a thief wearing wool knickers and carrying Allen wrenches would look right at home whilst dismantling my bike. I like the ball bearing wedged into the bolt head approach, just be

[RBW] Re: what bolts?

You'd need the bolt by itself, all the Riv seat post braze ons in familiar with are recessed for a nut on one side and an Allen bolt recessed on the other. I'm guessing the Joe will follow suit. So it's just the length you need to figure out. I'm not positive but wouldn't the proper length

[RBW] Re: what bolts?

I'm using a Pinhead locking skewer on my Clem right now. As Riv warns, they work, but you'll eventually chip the paint. In keeping with that Clemmy spirit I decided that was an OK compromise, plus with my saddle bag always hanging over it it's not like any touch-up paint in the future will be

[RBW] Re: what bolts?

Hi Patrick, Assuming it's the same seat lug as other Rivs (excepting Clem, I think), then you'll need to replace the "M6 Hex Socket Cap, 22mm length" with the security bolt. I went with the pitlock skewers and seat post binder bolt. They're really spendy, but I don't worry about my wheels or

[RBW] Re: what bolts?

Nothing against the Pit Lock using contingent here (he says in advance to avoid further ruffling anyone's feathers) but the security bolt idea is a great and inexpensive solution -- you just need to remember to pack along the appropriate tamper resistant hex L- wrench if you're the type that

I think Atomic 22 offers a nice quil stem locking bolt. http://atomic22.com/quill-stem.aspx On Thursday, 11 February 2016 21:49:34 UTC-8, Patrick D Kelly wrote: > > I've got a joe appaloosa on order. I'd like to try out securing my seat > post and saddle with bolts from

[RBW] Re: what bolts?

I don't know if these are any good in practice (been meaning to try them, alas), but they're made by Pitlock for exactly what you want to do. A bit more elegant than Super Glue and a ball bearing, with a price to match, but still
