Secondary Locks

So, ball-bearings superglued inside Allen heads are a deterrent, but security skewers/nuts aren't?

And a second D-lock through your front wheel and frame somehow prevents your seat from getting stolen?
What?

If someone is going to steal your forks, then security nuts will be a help. But you can superglue a ball bearing and get the same effect. For the saddle, you migh believe that you have secured it by spending all that money and listening to the manufacturers claims, but if your saddle is valuable, it won't make much difference.

If you have a really valuable bike and lock it well like with a Fahg Mini for the frame and rear wheel, Evo Mini for the front wheel, then a locking skewer for the front wheel can help. Because theives might try to break the less secure D-lock just for the wheel. Plus you can't really secure a wheel with a superglued ball baring.

BTW, I still have the Abus Granit Futura 64 that I paid sixty-five quid for 8 years ago. Fucking ace lock, nobody ever messed with it in London and it was often the only lock on my bike. Front wheel was secured with a simple Allen (non-Q/R) skewer. Worth its RRP.

Thanks! I'm so tempted. £36.46 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Abus-Futura-64-Mini-U-Lock/dp/B0026B4RBO

GA2G, should it really be excluded from the secondary locks list just because it's 11mm? It is Sold Secure Silver like the Evo Mini. A lower quality lock thats easier to break and Bronze rated could make it onto the list just by being thicker and heavier, it seems.
