I meant to secure a front nutted wheel. Obviously it can be cut in seconds, even a D lock can be cut in seconds with the right tools.
But you have to strike a balance been weight/practicality and security.
I have a friend who rides a *very *nice Moser track bike, he uses an abus steeloflex around the rear, and a shoelace thick token lock around the front wheel.
Even the shoelace lock although piss weak, it will stop the opportunists who dont have cutters from pinching the front wheel.
I see lots of people who have forked out for a fagghettaboutit only secure one wheel.
Surely any lock on the front wheel is better than none at all?
