The Simplest Way to Protect Your Bike Wheels from Getting Stolen

Sometimes, the simplest fixes are the most effective. To further deter thieves from jacking your wheels, Kryptonite has created Security WheelNutz, bike axle nuts with one crucial twist: they can only be removed if the bike is 180 degrees upside down. And if you've got a lock on your frame, this should be virtually impossible for would-be swindlers.

You can grab 'em for $31, and install them with just a 15mm wrench. And since they've got a weather-proof coating, they're safe from the elements as well as the bike-stealing dregs of humanity.
