Best Type Of Bike Lock?

[wafflycat]

Really, I've seen more productive posturing by pheasants...

Could I stick my oar in again to remind any civvies who might still be alive and trying to stem the bleeding from their eyes...

You owe me a new keyboard Arch, and a head massage as laughing when I've got a headache hurts

The thing is, I totally agree, and apologies for not backing down this time.

Ne're mind. We can all get a bit overheated on a subject we care deeply about at times

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

I only came on cause of 20".

You are arguing about CYCLE LOCKS FFS.!!

Goaty - see this is the crazy thing about here; a general simple thing is discussed then all hell lets loose bit by bit...

"...more productive posturing by pheasants..." oh how funny, well done Arch.

The 14" was a better machine.

FWIW and I have told you before: you don't need a lock. You need a toe strap, a window seat, and a confrontational attitude.

or use a company that puts it's money where it's mouth is, ie. provide replacement theft protection....See http://www.onguardlock.com/features/

Products available in the UK through http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/m...sories/1_Accessories/19_Security/360_OnGuard/

up to $3,500 replacement protection provided (within 3 years of lock purchase).

Would need to check if protection is provided in the UK, but I think this type of protection would solve many problems, putting the responsibility to ensure lock quality back on to the manufacturer.

Sorry... Have a tissue, and an aspirin. You wouldn't want a massage just now, I've got really grubby hands from the allotment...

I think perhaps people had just got a bit stuck in a rut there... God knows, I've done it myself, only I tend to give up fairly easily....

I'm beginning to think that ruts are far more secure than locks Arch Also, make sure you attach your gold standard rut to something solid - like an immovable post from David or, fixed differently but equally immovable, one from Mr Paul.
You know it makes sense, non?

I'm getting flashbacks to Mrs Closick, my junior school authoritarian mistress.

Do continue.

You had an Authoritarian Mistress? Gosh, we had a Games Mistress, but...

Anyway, don't make me have to fetch my riding crop....

Fook me, you're still at it?! Thank god I'm not stuck in lock in with you arguing the toss on something.
