I have the small Kryptonite Evolution chain for the rear wheel/frame and I purchased a cable lock (this one) to secure my front tire to my main lock. It does that just fine but obviously this thing is way too big, my local MEC doesn't even stock the smaller one. Can I just cut this in half and loop the ends to make 2 of them, and if so what is the best way to do this? I like the thickness of it because even if they are still easy to cut it at least defers attempts at it from less willing thieves.
Additionally, in regards to all the quick release parts of my bike, is a product like Pinheads really worth the price? I've watched youtube videos of people undoing those with a gator socket pretty easily. Maybe a better option is security type bolts from a hardware store?
