I live in a low crime rural area so don't have any experience of thief
proofing bikes, other than a token cable lock I use on my own bike.
My son is taking a cheap 2nd hand bike to uni and is concerned that the
wheels will get stolen if they have QR skewers.
I was thinking of replacing the normal skewers with Tranz X Secure Lock Anti
Theft skewers which are £12.99 from SJS.
Does anyone have any advice on whether the above is going to help (can't be
too hard for a thief to carry an allen key) ?
More generally any advice on whether wheel theft from a £40 2nd hand
mountain bike is likely to be a problem, and if so what's the best way to
prevent theft.
TIA
Dave.
