I love Hokey Spokes! Some warnings: They are expensive (you know this already). If you have less than three on, your wheel becomes wobbly. I don't know if it will bend your rim out of true over the long term, but you can notice the off-balance if you ride no-hands. (then again, i had them on the front wheel--probably better to put them on the back wheel) They have a light on them that blinks all the time, even when they are turned off. This didn't bother me, but caused everyone who saw my bike to say, "hey, your lights are on," and as your first two commentors alluded, will draw attention to your bike by thieves (potentially). That said, they aren't easy to remove (for a thief). Depends where you lock it, I guess.
