I shall bear in mind the double-edged-sword element of taping the frame... If quick release wheels instead of nutted, the skewers could be replaced with security skewers that require a separate special key to operate. Same kind of thing can be done with seatpost (depending on what fastening system your bike can take).

Is it difficult? Good d-lock (eg. Kryptonite) and perhaps a cable lock in addition for the wheels or frame. These are the locks I have. An Oxford Revolver Armoured Cable Lock, £30, which I use to secure the frame - Pictu http://www.oxprod.com/Bicycle/Revolvercycle.jpg PDF spec: http://www.oxprod.com/pdf/revolverpdf.pdf And a Decathlon "SP3" cable lock, £5, which I usually run through the quick release saddle, quick release front wheel and the frame Pic: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/product/400/344737b.jpg Product page: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/ukstore/produit.asp?int_DeptId=269&int_DeptPereId=33054&in t_PfId=344737 Any opinions on their suitability for protecting my bike? -- Jack |
