<p>You can also use electrical solder and a BB in the hex head. Or just fill it up entirely with solder.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've simply adopted the assumption that anything that isn't U-locked down will eventually be stolen. When I buy components for a bike that I sometimes lock up outside, I do so assuming it will eventually be stolen. I'm not going to buy $300 pedals or a $600 wheel set in that case.</p>

<p>There is often an SE Draft or some similar POS fixie that is parked out in front of Cafe con Leche on the 2700 block of Milwaukee and on more than one occasion I have seen it with a random stick from a tree shoved into the stem instead of handlebars. And by different occasions I mean a few months apart.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Is this anyone's bike here on <em>The Chainlink</em>? </p>
