locking quick release

Someone remarked the other day about wanting a locking quick-release that wasn't a pain in the butt.
I reviewed this one the other day. I think it's a good product.

looks interesting but... You'd want to be able to specify the key code so you could get the same
for all of your bikes (none of you guys have just one - right? ) I don't think it's long
enough to work with a BOB (trailer) axle Oh and the BOB will need one too so they need to be
available individually Actual cost of intenational shipping isn't on the website and (killer)
It's too expensive

Granted my cable lock / D-Lock combination isn't as elegant but it locks whichever cycle I have with
me all for the price of one kit.

And if anyone knows where I can buy a 6/8/10 ft plastic-coated 4-6mm *non-curly* steel cable with a
loop on each end, I could do with a replacement.

just my $0.02 - about 1 1/2p I suppose Ian

This one might give the theif a couple of extra steps just to steal your wheel. It's not fool proof,
but usually they would rather move on to an easier prey.

I don't think that would be too tough to arrange. You can talk to the founder of the company on
the phone...

probably not...

you think someone's gonna steal the wheel off your BOB? I'm not sure a BOB needs a QR, myself.

Maybe it seems that way, but locks ain't cheap, and I'd rather not carry around the extra weight. Of
course, I usually use a curley, lightweight cable, but it's not the kind of thing I'd trust with a
more 'spensif bike.

 

Sail makers can make eyeletted steel cables (as used in sailboat rigging.)

Or you can buy eyelets and bolted clamps and make your own. File the bolt heads round before use.
