The InterLock for Brooks saddle security?
 
I've got a Brooks saddle lined up as my next bike upgrade but I'm a little nervous about theft as I bike commute in Toronto and often have to leave my bike locked up outside somewhere.

Saddles seem so easy to swipe so I was looking into some security for it. I've heard and seen the 'ol bike-chain trick but I was looking for something a little more discreet like skewers or some kind of locking mechanism.

Saw this at Mountain Equipment Co-Op and also discovered that it was a successful kickstarter campaign:

Does anyone have any experience with The Interlock? What do you guys think of it? It's about $40.

PS: I know nothing is 100% secure but it's better than just leaving that $150 saddle just a few wrench turns away from being stolen.

First,the guy who invented it didn't market it right. He intended that to be your primary lock,which if you're in any big city is just stupid. Having said that,it should be pretty much as effective as any other cable in securing the saddle,seatpost,and rear wheel,just as long as you thread it through the saddle. As to whether or not that cable is enough,depends on where you are. I think you'd be ok in DC,but possibly not in NYC or London.
