Hey guys. Hopefully this question will not get anyone upset because it's not "light weight" related, but I do have a high end Giant TCR Advanced sl 3 that I plan on posting pics of soon.
This being put out of the way, I was wondering if anyone knew about protective covers that I could put on the bottom tips of my fork? I need this because I plan on going to work on my giant, and locking it outside where a security guard is constantly surveilling. The only way I can see myself locking my wheels with the bike is by removing the front wheel and locking it with the back one and then through the frame of the bike. I would love to be able to get to work and come back by bike just to put in the extra miles, but I don't want to scratch or crack the bottoms of my beautiful fork . You never know if someone might decide to touch the bike and move it around
I would really appreciate if someone helped me find covers that are specifically made for that purpose. I did although think of a few "home-made" alternatives.
Thanks.

Thanks bricky, I will check with my LBS.
Lechat, i'm not quite sure I grasp what you mean... Just wrap the tube around the fork?

you should be able to find something from home depot...a rubber end cap. that will also prevent it from slipping on the sidewalk like a plastic spreader.

I think it's asking for trouble to be leaving a high-end bike locked in public view every day.

Hey guys, thank you to everyone who took the time to input their thoughts.
Concerning the safety of leaving the bike outside, I do fully understand the repercussions that it brings, but my bike is fully insured and where my bike will be locked, there is a security guard constantly present, looking around. Secondly, where I work is a huge complexe , where only employees are to be found on site therefore greatly reducing the chances that I get my bike jacked.
Once again thanks all for your input!
