Shimano Alivio and EF50 components the same as are used on the Trek 7.2 FX. That is neither good nor bad per se, but it is always a good sign when your components are found on other bikes.
As to locking the wheel:

If you are commuting, a head and tail light would probably be useful.
thanks for the vid!! i have purchased head and tail lights and im very excited about using them
i actually own 2 u locks (one crappy one good) and one small cable so i use all of that and take apart my front wheel when locking up..
is there any tips on how to make the ride on my hybrid more rigerous? i go on the grass quite often so changing the tires to road bike tires is a no, right?
and why are hybrid bikes also called fitness bikes if they are more comfortable?
thanks!
