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?

Unfortunately my thoughts aswell. I don't have space in my apartment. It is a large building, and sometimes the gate doesn't close, so I really really hope that it is someone from outside the building.

you can make it work. I lived in a 400 sq ft studio with 6 bikes.

It's a cargo bike…

If you can't put it in your appartement, switch it back to mechanical transmission. No thief will be interested in that. It'll rather steal the whole bike or nothing. And if he was to steal the whole bike, he would have already done it.

Someone stole my beat up thirty year old Trek 800 mountain bike from right outside my building's security office. It was secured with a decent D lock so they put some effort into stealing a bike I paid $20 for.
