I have both the quick release levers for my wheels tied to the frame with multiple zip ties. I don't want to come back to my bike to find some scroat has nicked my wheels....I've not been able to afford locking skewers yet. Of course the ties wouldn't stop any determined thief but they are a deterrent. If I need to use the QR mechanism then my trusty Swiss Army knife would cut them to allow access.[/QUOTE]

Me, the person who used to remove my uncomfortable wedge seat, (was that a trend or something for a while?) I never noticed the quick release
on the wheel and have since looked at my Specialized Rock hopper, it has one too. No one ever stole my wheel.....NOOOO......all attention was on the missing seat. I'm going to run the cable lock trough the wheels now.
