Stolen: Mavic Open Pro Wheelset

Afternoon all,

A series of unfortunate events on Saturday night; losing keys, not being able to use my d-lock and having to buddy up on a mates, culminated in some c*nt taking off with my wheels. This was outside The Haggerston on Kingsland Road.

Mavic Open Pro wheelset Silver (36 rear, 32 front), System EX hubs. Conti Gatorskin tyres.
Rear Wheel setup fixed with a 17t Phil Wood 3/32" Sprocket.

Just thought I'd post on a whim, to remind you the pricks with spanners are always out there, and if they crop up, if you could perform a citizen's arrest - I'd be much obliged.

The Haggerston in particular seems to be the scene of a large number of bike thefts.

Sorry for the loss, and thanks for the heads-up.
The Haggerston is crossed off the list of East Drinks on Tour venues.

It seems like 99% of stolen bikes/parts threads involve this address, if not this postcode.

My old flatmates bike got nicked from out the front of that pub while we were inside last week.

I remember in down and outs in Paris and London there was a code used to mark places for their hospitality towards the homeless

Maybe we need to mark up crime hotspots

http://desertphile.org/hobo/hobo.htm gives a nice listing - a quick search for "hobo code" will yield more. We need a stylised set of bolt croppers (or just a stylised cunt would do, I supposed).

kingsland road, there got to be signpost erected to warn people never to lock on that road in particular.

But then people might think it'll be OK to lock up on one of the side streets...

Sometimes if I'm out 8pm-2am (gig/club/Angel/Dalston etc) I'll just get a bus, it's depressing but I have a much better time not worrying all night.

Sucks about your wheels (I lost a rear wheel there a few years ago) but hey, at least it wasn't both whole bikes, which wouldn't have been surprising TBH.

Lots of stolen wheels now turning up at the entrance to London Fields near Broadway market, might be worth a look on the weekend.

Or in the classifieds here.

PS aren't there a set of open pro's on gumtree?
