protecting saddle + post from theft?
"ant" wrote in message om... wrote in message news:6uIXa.2166 If you can get the seat adjusted to a height you're happy with, you could weld it in place, or drill a hole through the post, bolt it in place, and mess up the threads so it couldn't be undone without a hacksaw. if your bike wasnt stupid light, a rivet or two would look a lot cleaner than a bolt, and would be more secure. you could always drill them out later. or for a beater-glue. you could just fill fastener heads with epoxy. use a punch (to break otu the epoxy) or a screw-extractor to remove later. or- perhaps even filling the fastener with something temporary like wax might work. stop a thief inserting an allen key without a whole lot of fussing about. In an Allen screw, a ball bearing to fit + clear bathroom silicone sealant is a good deterrent. Tim. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

protecting saddle + post from theft?
The industrial types produce bolts/wrenches with a pin in the center of the
socket, hole in wrench as "tamper proof". Discourages opportunistic theft. Tom -- Bruni Bicycles "Where art meets science" brunibicycles.com 410.426.3420 wrote in message igy.com... "Sanjay Punjab" wrote in message om... 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 If you can get the seat adjusted to a height you're happy with, you could weld it in place, or drill a hole through the post, bolt it in place, and mess up the threads so it couldn't be undone without a hacksaw. |
