A little while ago DrummerPie bought himself a snazzy new saddle. Although it is apparantly very comfy, it is a bit of a thief magnet, so we came up with a plan to keep it safe. Although we have extra extender cables for locking up, it can be a bit of a faff to carry extras, so we thought we would try something else.
We used recycled bike bits to make the lock, a length of bike chain and an old inner tube.
Use a chain breaker to get the chain the right length, it should wrap through the saddle rails, and under through the frame. Take a length of innertube and thread the chain through it. This will act as protection against the chain rusting, and stop it scratching the frame. Thread it through, and seal up the innertube with a bit of electrical tape.
We hope that this will keep it safe out on the mean streets, hopefully it will act as an extra deterrent! Do you have any trick for locking your saddle? Or do you just use a cheap one like me?
