Only one bolt stolen this time, perhaps due to me restricting access to that area with my padlock. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15625#post-202183 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 08:52:59 +0000 wingpig 202183@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd tightened them (and they weren't loose) before loading onto the car rack, so it would have to be some very thorough jiggling for both to have completely unwound. I'll check if I have any photos from the way in on Saturday with they stays visible. I suspect unimaginative mischief rather than attempted theft as the lower bolts can only be removed from inside the rear triangle with the wheel off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15625#post-202181 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 08:21:46 +0000 ARobComp 202181@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Any chance they rattled free during you trip there? (unlikely I know but...) Unless someone was trying to take the rack and got disturbed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15625#post-202175 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 21:00:13 +0000 wingpig 202175@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Actually yesterday, but I didn't notice until unlocking this afternoon. Beware if parking your bike at one of Beamish's eight bike racks, five of which are wheel twisters.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/yZWry3"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5747/21659078854_eb51ca0a45_n.jpg"></a></p> <p>If someone really wanted some M5 bolts then there were a pair on the under-downtube bottle cage mount which would have been much easier to remove as I use the inward-facing sides of the seat stay rack bosses. </p>
