Further to what I had stated before about thieves and the Sheldon Method. It occured to me that a thief stealing an bike (especially fxd/ss), and leaving the rear wheel behind, could throw on any other fxd/ss rear wheel, and it would actually appeal to hipsters MORE (because they prefer mismatched wheels). A happy bonus for the thief.
Also, the majority of bikes are pathetically locked up with cable locks, ineffective u-locks, or just badly locked.....so there is ample opportunity for a thief stealing loads of bikes, and mismatching wheels.
And lynx, I still feel, that apart from discussion of the Sheldon Method's potential possibility for total failure, I don't believ that anything has been added to the knowledge on bike security on this forum. I will keep looking to see if anything new is shared though.
