Anyone know how to make those seat locks?
I've seen people use old chains to lock their seats in so people dont steal them. Anyone know how to do this?

it's as easy as getting a length of old chain and a chain tool to crop and close it. lots of guys use a piece of plastic tubing around the chain so it doesn't make noise or nick up your frame.
if you don't want to buy the tools/supplies, most nyc bike shops will do this in about 2 minutes for around $5. |
What do people do with stolen seatposts?
|
All you need is !1. Old Chain 2. Tape and old inner tube
3. Chain tool. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to do. |
Pictures? I'm curious of this lock.

Thanks!

Thanks for the picture... but that seems stupid to me... A chain tool and 10 more seconds and the seat/post would be gone anyway!

i am sure the chain would rattle and make noise and scratch the frame. i think that would drive me nuts

That's why you have to wrap it in inner tube or a similar rubber type housing. ;)

I was at a frat party (don't ask) and they had a big box of stuff they had stolen. Seats w/posts, cds, movies, remote controls, batteries, oven knobs and more. I grabbed a bunch of the seats and gave 'em to kozy's bike shop. Also drew on their frat pics. If your seatlock isn't a keg tapper it should stop the average frat jock
