Should we make a sticker that says 'These wheels protected by Terror in Pink - Steal them and face her wrath!!!!' for us all to put on our rims?

dwylie - sorry to hear it man. You should move to Minneapolis. Not many stolen wheelsets that I hear of here...

It is time for a "Missing Bike/Parts/Persons" subforum.

Will keep an eye out for it...one thing I'm always checkin out on the streets, it's other people's bicycles.

Ahh, so you took the wheels...

That sucks. Nice wheels. Tell as many people as you can.

Im starting to get worried. I got a set of phils laced to cxp33's waiting to be put on my new bike. Things are pretty easy going out here, but bikes still get stolen. Might be time for a new lock.

i have the same wheelset. i feel your pain.

not to anyone going for the vigilante justice. the wheels on my bike are mine, and i'd really like to keep it that way.

that is all.

just have one thing to say:

KILL 'EM ALL

sucks to hear, will keep eye out. we need a vigilante bike theif beatdown squad in NYC. I'm paranoid so I bring two locks with me to work. I love the back with my kryto and the front tire with a cheap wire lock I got when I was in china.

mash, onguard just came out with locking axles. these replaced kryptos ****ty ones...

damn, that sucks. i hope ya get em back and start locking em up!

i'm def using 2 locks this weekend in NYC...i'm taking no chances with my new wheelset.

I looked online and couldn't find any photos of these anywhere. Does anyone have a link?

lol. nice link ;p

You have to order the QR conversion kit from Phil via your lbs. There is a thread on here somewheres about it.

I did it, but I'm wondering whats wrong with the krypto skewers? they look like the same thing to me.

Here's a thread with some of what unaesthetic did:

He also posted another thread but I can never find it easily...

As poppalurch said, get the QR conversion kit (I think it's $20 per hub) and skewer away!

poppalurch - how's that holding up to skidding and brakeless riding?
