Yup. With some changes.
(Not AXS)

damn that's good!

Tasty!

Please don't tell me you left it locked outside did you?

As opposed to unlocked?

How can you miss that lock

Someone could easily chop that spoke to nick your front wheel. Also those Liteloks are pretty weak

I’ve been riding plenty long enough and done enough research into locks to know the risks of locking.
Thanks for your input, I’ll probably do what I want.

Bad ass

No, just fed up with the nonsense on this forum.
It’s probably just me, and time for me to go.

How would you suggest locking both wheels and the frame with that lock given that's what he's got available?

You could probably get the front lock around the rim/tyre instead of just a spoke, which would give a little more security. Doubt it would fit around the frame & the front wheel though.

I would've put the front lock through the rim and DT if it fits, even though it's not attached to the rack. It's a tradeoff because if someone cuts the back lock they walk off with your bike, but I'd judge that the spoke is more likely to be cut than the back lock.

@eyebrows I was pretty sure that you know what you're doing and dithered about whether or not to comment, but I decided that it's better that a few people read a useless comment than anyone loses part of their bike. Apologies if I annoyed you, shouldn't have stuck my beak in

To be fair, I didn't see the front lock

Oi easy there.

I wouldnt be comfortable leaving a several K biek locked outside with a hiplock and a d-lock holding a spoke.

But aye, each to their own innit..

Plz don't leave us!

And yes, I hadn't seen the front lock before either.

Who's taking the risk to hurt eyebrows' feelings and forward it to "ways to not lock your bike"?;)

Readers how not to lock your biek:

This has just come out of hibernation, but it's taken a while to get the fit right. Not sure about the gold chain (seems impossible KMC ones in other colours atm...?) but very pleased w the addition of tan walls and forum sticker. Really looking forward to warmer evenings so I can ride this thing more...

Not enough grey bikes. A great colour.

My bike colour scheme matches my clothes and architect profession:
White
Light grey
Grey
Dark grey
Very dark grey
Just sold the black one mind

Anyone know if Stan's tyre sealant is basically the same as Vittoria Pit Stop but not in a pressurised can? If you haven't seen Pit Stop before, it is a white milky liquid and stays liquid when it's inside the inner tube. I guess it's contact with outside air which makes it dry/cure.

Does anyone have a clue what thumb shifters are indexed and 8 speed? Or an adapter that’s not £££ like velo orange or Paul? The sunrace ones have mixed reviews...

Ok, so everything I’ve found has been for bar end shifters. What’s a good thumb shift option? Bite the bullet and get bar ends and convert? I really want indexed bar mounted retroshift.

What type of shifters do you have right now?
If they're down-tube, you might be able to convert them to thumbshifters

Precisely what I’m looking to do. Most of the adapters I’ve found specify bar end only.

Microshift probably has something
