I live in London's famous London, bike theft capital of wherever.
I want to use a Brooks, but also lock my bike up outside often.
How can I secure it to the frame? The options seem to be:
- Use a hexlock/ball bearing glued into the seat post pin/saddle clamp bolt. Does this work?
- Take an old chain and loop it through saddle rails and top tube. But I've heard of others having this chain cut and then they take the saddle straight away.
- Take the seatpost and saddle off every time you lock the bike. Can't be bothered with this.
- ??
Any comments welcome.

once you’re 100% happy with saddle height and angle, round out the bolts with a drill bit so they’re perfectly round/useless/only removable with a drill.

I did the ball bearing and superglue trick before and was shocked how easy it was to pick out with a knife.

I did the ball bearing and superglue trick and I had to use an angle grinder to cut the bolt off...
