Here is what I came up with for a quick way to maybe save my front wheel from theft.
Downtube 8H
No doubt it's been done before.
There are better ways, sure.
Makes one more thing to do in case the wheel needs to come off.
However lacking a longer u-lock while doing some errands this made me feel a little bit better.
The QR lever was rotated till it was covering the eyelet in the photo.
I ran some insulated single strand #14 regular house wire through the two now lined up holes and gave
it a couple of good twists with my pliers and snipped off the extra.
It's not going to come off with just my fingers, or someone elses fingers.
