    Hi I had my front wheel stolen from my girlfriend garden in Cabra. I knew i should have gotten rid of my quick release wheels.


    Just wondering how much I'm looking at to replace it?

    Currently located in Cabra, gonna walk to some bike shop in phibsborough called "rothar" tomorrow.

    It's a hybrid bike that I bought almlstcay brand new quality.

    I'd love to kill the knackers who stole it :(

    Judging by the reviews on their FB, they seem to be too notch. I kept passing them weekly saying I'll get rid of my quick release. Stupid me!

    Do you have any idea of the price range? Just to stop me wondering all night.

    Should I get an extra lock for my wheel? Even if not quick release anymore?

    They didn't bother with my back wheel

    You should use a ULock through the back wheel and around the seat post. Then use a lanyard to secure the front wheel to said lock.

    Cabra would be a prime place for parts to vanish Inc saddle etc.

    New front might be €50+, not sure. Rothar do some 2nd hand trade so might be able to source you a spare for a discount. Have a chat with them.

    Currently, I use an orange and black Kryptonite u lock around the frame. Big wake up call today for me. I only spend weekends here at Hanlon's corner so didn't expect to be victim.

    I'll use your advice. I'll sure they'll advise me well. Thanks.

    €50ish..not the end of the world :)
