what is the seat leash made out of? i'll pick up some cable and cut it with 9" pliers... I've never seen anything that thin withstand hand pliers let alone bolt cutters

@sweetoasis9921 The Seat Leash is manufactured with SS (316) aircraft control cable, 7x19 layup. Breaking strength of 1,350#. Cost is $2.95. Unlike Case Hardened Security Chain, this material is not manufactured nor represented to be Bolt Cutter proof.

Thanks for this. Where can I get these skewers and how are they taken off properly?

[4bikeregistry]

@MyRandomReviews The skewers require two spanners, each turning in opposing directions, to remove/install the skewer. The skewers are shipped w/ a pair of 8mm spanners in a skewer kit, all from BikeRegistry dotcom

A seat leash can also be fabricated from an old piece of bike (drive) chain. Can't be easily cut but a chain tool will break it.

@sweetoasis9921 Did you ever get to make a video cutting through this cable or was it all talk and no action?
