Bye bye front wheel.

I locked up outside of my house while I took a quick nap, usually I bring her inside. Tonight someone stole the front mistral wheel with campagnolo sheriff star hubs off my baby. I am livid if I ever found who did it I would invite everyone who owns a bicycle to take part in a royal beatdown.

Sorry for your loss.  Was the front wheel secured or not?

Maybe give pinhead skewer replacements a try.

sorry.  I might be able to help you out on a rim, but I don't have one of those hubs.  Did the front match the rear?

yeah they matched. I was thinking about getting something more durable for winter anyway, still sucks that someone stole them. I have to go find somewhere to get an affordable front wheel/tire tomorrow because I have to work Monday.

My friends always made fun of me for carrying 2 heavy ass nyc kryptonite locks. Yet to lose a wheel.

Now that is a creative bit of bike tetris.

that is awesome. a buddy of mine is lending me his wheel while I search out a replacement so for now I'm back on the road.
