I recently had my saddle and seat post stolen off my bike. I had allen
screws securing both, not quick release levers. Is there a way to
secure the saddle and seat post better to a bike?
Locking the saddle frame to the triangle of the bike frame could
atleast help protect the saddle, but a relatively thin cable lock can
be cut easily.
I am looking for some effective ideas to secure both.
Thanks

Both Kryptonite and Pitlock (www.pitlock.com) make locking seattube
skewers. That won't prevent your saddle from being stolen off of the
post. When that happened to me, I switched to a two-bolt seatpost (the
more you can slow thieves down the better) and use wax or silicon to
close the hex holes. Here in NYC, no one trusts the thin cables you're
referring to. The popular thing to do is take a length of chain
(drivetrain chain), cover it with a length of inner tube, run it
through the seatstays and the saddle rails and then close the loop
with a chain tool.
