Ball Bearings

This.

Anti-Theft Skewer in the front + U-Lock through the frame and rear, is how I've managed to stay safe with only one U-Lock.

I did the superglue and ball bearing, when I realized my anti-theft skewer could be bypassed by simply taking my whole fork. I also use it in my seat binder bolt.

It's a very tactical and subtle way of keep your stuff secure. And let's face it, Krypto chains aren't the most comfortable, though you get used to it.

Where did you get the ball bearings? I have the allen wrench 5mm size and was wondering what size bearing to use so I don't have to try everything. I like this idea and I am aware that this is an older post..Thanks..Cheers
