Excited at the prosepect of a new commuter (Geneis Skyline), I idly
asked the price of Pinhead locking skewers + seat post clamps to
secure my new steed. I'm still reeling from the shock.
Some Googling has turned-up numerous tricks for securing hex bolts:
- ball bearing + superglue
- as above plus aluminium foil
- filling with sealant
- filling with wax
- filling with solder
- drilling
I'm tempted to solder the seatpost clamp and stem on the basis I'll
only ever adjust these at home (where I can wick the solder out), but
I may well want to adjust the skewers, brakes, etc. on the move
(although a few mins spent picking out sealant/wax/etc. would be
acceptable).
Has anyone had any success with these techniques? Any
recommendations, or further ideas?
Many thanks
