I dont understand what would be hard about cutting thru a wheel... Not arguing, but curious.
Also, your logic about thieves not sawing thru "valuable" parts of a bike is a little weird.
I get offered beautiful bikes that definitely are worth $500 from guys in the neighborhood about twice a year.
Their asking price: $25 to $50.
And other dudes collect scrap metal all day... Broken Ac units, rebar, f-ed up metal shelving.
They will push it miles in a shopping cart. A bike that would get them $50 in one shot... Think about it.
Anyway... Be careful and I hope everyones rides stay safely in your hands.
Peace.
