Re: Disc Lock

Re: Disc Lock
Do you have drilled discs?
For standard disc it's a big U-lock through the spokes and forks.

Re: Disc Lock
No, my discs are standard.
I was looking for something more portable than a u-lock which is what I currently use.
It's too cumbersome either sticking out so far it almost falls out of your pocket or uncomfortable when shoved down the front of your jacket.
But it's better than a chain and padlock around your waist.(which I have outgrown now
)
I've been looking, but there doesn't seem to be a disc lock available with a deep enough throat to go round the disc and carrier.

Have you considered just a lock and/or a short chain through the spokes? I know there is more risk of damaging the spokes if it is moved, but in the end anything is just a deterent. And any would be thief will possibly not be bothered about what damage they do.
Time is a fickle mistress, enjoy her but you will never control her.

Re: Disc Lock
That looks good - just needs spraying some bright colour so that people can see the bike is secured (and so I remember it's on there
)
I've tried padlock through chain on other bikes, but people don't look for that and cause damage.

Re: Disc Lock
I always use one of those springy reminders and attach it to the brake or clutch lever.....

Re: Disc Lock
I have also used these before, although not as secure as a disc lock in my opinion, but a good visual deterrent and slips in a pocket....

Re: Disc Lock
Food for thought.
It is much harder to push bike with the front wheel locked up as opposed to the rear.
Thanks!

Re: Disc Lock
There is a new type of lock out called Lifelock available from Motolegends at Guildford or Sportsbikeshop.co.uk
It’s not cheap at £139.99 but worth a look.
