    Best methods to secure components

    I ended up getting a New York Standard Kryptonite Ulock. I've got Hexlox on order for wheel, computer, seat, seat post, and stem.

    The Stormtrooper: My White Surface Rook

    She's a comfy one. I wasn't sure about size, since I'm right on the lower end of a larger frames height range. but she's solid - and doesn't feel heavy at all considering she's got a few pounds on the old men's Raleigh I've been riding this summer. Must be because the weight is low. I was...

    The Stormtrooper: My White Surface Rook

    Curses! I don't have a long enough Allen key for my headset tightening. So waiting on my local bike shop to tell me whether they can do a site service for me and get her all tuned up. she's looking good! https://goo.gl/photos/tmKCey9sV1HQjNKE9

    The Stormtrooper: My White Surface Rook

    https://goo.gl/photos/qonYFGUqkSXWVCAt6 My bike has arrived! Tried feeling around for where the keys are located. Feeling a bit under the weather so I'll be making a run over to Canadian Tire for an appropriate grease before returning home for my very first build. My local bike shop has a...

    eJoe 2017 Epik SE New Owner, Complete review on gear, modifications also

    A lot of websites have incomplete or no details. I'm a heavy online researcher who just purchased a surface604 rook thru a retailer. Surface604 has had two weeks and two phone calls in with one question and have yet to get back to me. Luckily my dealer is able to return emails :)

    Best methods to secure components

    Hey! Pitlocks: The widths of skewers has more range. so for example, they have two or three sizes with specific ranges for different size dropouts. having a unique key is pretty neat too. The flip over is cool, but I'm getting the rear skewer which I don't need at all, and no options for...

    Best methods to secure components

    Looks like it's going to be a toss up between hexlox or pitlocks. Flexibility to buy front wheel skewer only, proprietary key, uses Allen bolt blockers on components like seats, easy to carry key around and to remove security during maintenance. Going to be between 130-150 cdn plus 100 for my...

    Best methods to secure components

    Pinheads may not fit, they come at a size that is larger by 10mm in width. I will check with my dealer but I'm thinking Pitlocks may provide the security but also the flexibility of picking and choosing components. Re: the back wheel I wasn't asking for Co formation on size, but trying to wrap...

    Best methods to secure components

    I know the Axle is 114mm and 9m diameter on the front. Would the solid axle nuts you listed for the rear wheel replace the factory nuts but use the motor axle?

    Best methods to secure components

    My headset is adjustable, so a traditional replacement won't work. I would need something to prevent tampering like HexLox or Pitstoppers which block access. So many options, but the pinheads seemed solid. My reservations about the zefals and other full kits, is allegedly I only need the front...

    Best methods to secure components

    The boss has offered, but I feel like wheeling a bike through the building twice a day might be frowned on by customers. If we can find an area that makes sense to do it I will take advantage.

    Best methods to secure components

    Heh, the best advice however I'm the only one currently crazy enough to ride to work this winter. Do you know how the sizing works on the bolts if I wanted to secure my seat and seat post too? or have you strictly used the skewers?

    Best methods to secure components

    My incoming rook from surface604 has quick release seat/front wheel and toolfree headset adjustment. I'm wondering if anyone has used any of the locking skewer or bolt products used to secure these parts by replacing stock fasteners with tamper proof ones. What we're your experiences? I'll be...

    The Stormtrooper: My White Surface Rook

    So I decided to transfer my chatter about my future bike to this new thread, as continuing in my search thread would be a bit misleading. I'm going to try to blog and vlog as my bike gets delivered and assembled and as I break it in. Right now I'm looking into the accessories for security. I...

    Canadian Winter Ready Comfort Commuter - Research Stalemate

    I felt comfortable enough to purchase so I guess time and experience with my purchase will tell! I'm confident about the size I purchased and will be asking a local Velofix franchisee to assemble and tune the bike up. Hoping to blog/vlog what I can about the delivery and tuneup process with...

    Local dealer support - how big of deal?

    I wasn't impressed with the knowledge of my local dealer, and wrote an email saying so to surface604. I'm buying from a dealer from Vancouver, and will hopefully have my local dealer be my conduit for parts and liaison with the manufacturer directly. But I'm semi intermediate with computer...

    Reflective Vinyl Wrap: Colour Matching a Battery

    Whoohoo! Excellent. I figured the hairdryer method wouldn't harm he battery but I'd get a sleeker more stealthy look. #surface604 should think about that for the next one!
