yes, repost away!
Any advice on locks? As you can see my bike isnt exactly valuable (though it is valuable to me because I put time and effort into making it roll near flawlessly), but I dont want to take any chances.
I'm thinking I just replace the quick releases with bolt on stuff, and use a mini-u lock. Would that be sufficient? I'm not planning to leave this bike overnight in front of a meth lab or anything.
I would definitely agree about quick release seatposts, definitely the number one part of a bike to get stolen. 700c wheels that aren't high end, I don't find that likely to get nabbed, but bolt on skewers couldn't hurt.
