In a pinch I've even used a locking caribiner. It's small enough that a crook won't notice but enough to slow them down.<BR/><BR/>Patrick in ChicagoPatrick in Chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129379941809694645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612648168389835295.post-9510841845025123832008-12-22T08:10:00.000-08:002008-12-22T08:10:00.000-08:00I was just at the mall yesterday and saw some of t...I was just at the mall yesterday and saw some of these on display in a kiosk: http://urbanmover.com/products_bicycles_main.htm<BR/><BR/>Two of them were outfitted with these wheel locks. I was inpsecting the locks more than the bikes, I had never seen them before. So weird that I see them in your post today. If I go back I'll have to ask where he got them.Dynohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436238043183278108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612648168389835295.post-78987308934246391932008-12-22T05:40:00.000-08:002008-12-22T05:40:00.000-08:00I love gadgetry.

I've been using a coated steel mini cable and a combination luggage lock for the same temporary disabling function, but you have to store the thing....Karl Gerstenbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152588953128213351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612648168389835295.post-86937210220308022082008-12-21T23:04:00.000-08:002008-12-21T23:04:00.000-08:00yeah...i can't wait for the VO versions either.......yeah...i can't wait for the VO versions either....it's a pity that they're so friggin impossible to get in the states...<BR/><BR/>they're even tough to find on Ebay!<BR/><BR/>I'm sure when VO gets a hold of them they'll be hot sellers!RussRocahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636053628690240628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612648168389835295.post-63373026766515185472008-12-21T19:18:00.000-08:002008-12-21T19:18:00.000-08:00Love my wheel locks! and can't wait for VO to get ...Love my wheel locks! and can't wait for VO to get the less expensive model in. I currently have them on 3 bikes and want to put them on a couple of more. Interestingly enough my 1972 Raleigh Superbe has a lock built into the front fork and I am fortunate enough to have a key for it! Amazing how something so simple can be so effective.<BR/><BR/>Aaron2whls3spdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954543886269776858noreply@blogger.com
