  Clefty - thanks, but their solution seems a little expensive.

  Hoonz - do you know what company that is? I would imagine a simple nut with key should be reasonable.

  Tiswas - so you think they are replaceable? What about bearings inside?

  Yes - but is that possible? I thought it depends on the type of axle currently installed, ie not all can be just swapped out.

  The lights are attached to the hub, between it and the wheelbolt - ie anybody can just unscrew the wheel bolt and remove them. A secure skewer would prevent the light from being removed.

  Of course the lock on the wheel is just as effective for the wheel.

  Thank you for the link. The thing is that I would prefer the security to be automatic, without my having to worry/remember to use the 2nd lock. And I also have installed new reel-lights which are bolted to the wheel, this would protect them from being taken (lock would not).

  Hi guys (and gals if there are any :),

  I have the following question - what can I do to replace the wheel bolts on my Charge Plug to quick-release mechanism? The reason I ask is that I actually want to install anti-theft skewers and they can only be installed with quick-release. So - is it possible? If it is, how should I go about doing it, what part would I need to get?

  Thank you very much,

  Charge Plug stem are I think 110mm in length, if that any help.

  and it's much easier to put them together, it always seemed harder than it is, and shop will charge you a considerable amount for doing it.

  it's also a good oppourity to decided whether you want the stem to be a bit shorter (if you find the reach to be too far), or longer (if you find the reach to be too close).

  well if I didn't have to deal with cables and levers, I'd do it. That stuff I have no idea what to do

  Do a price check and get everything on price-match from Evans... Quids in... And do it all yourself, easy job...

  Thanks - but wiggle has free delivery :) So actually less effort

  Hi,

  Very sad to report that my CPlug has been burglarised - someone took off with the handlebars, having cut off the cables. Nothing else taken - pretty weird stuff.

  Now I have to buy all the parts to get the bike back in working order. I found a few on Wiggle, was wondering if anybody here can verify whether these are right and where I can find other parts.

  As I understand I need to buy:

  1. Handlebar
     
  2. Brake levers
     
  3. Stem
     
  4. Brake Cables
     
  5. Bar Tape
     
     

  I have found 3 out of 5 some parts on Wiggle.co.uk. Unfortunately I don't know what stem and brakes to purchase. Are there risers as well?

  Charge Slice Handlebar Silver 25.4mm Clamp £17.99
  Tektro RL720 Series Brake Levers RL726 26.0mm £20.69
  Charge U-Bend Bar Tape Brown £6.29

  Does anyone know how much a shop should charge to put this all together?

  Thanks a lot,
