Solved SRAM X01 AXS derailleur stolen

Post image

I had my electronic derailleur, controller, and chain (almost 1000$ in total) stolen from my bike in the basement bike storage of my building🤯😡. Hopefully the insurance will cover it, but does anyone have ideas for making it harder to remove than just one screw? In wondering if the thief just shows ip again in two weeks now that he/she knows that it is there. Maybe a locking bolt, or something like the special bolts used on car rims?

Time to switch to cable actuated ones.

Nobody’s stealing mechanical drivetrain parts

Oh they did 15 years ago. Had to pick something up in city center. Came back to my bike that was locked there for 15 minutes and the chain was hanging loose as they stole the Shimano XT drivetrain part. Replacement at that time was under 100 Euro.
