Recommend me a decent D Lock

[jamin100]

As per title really. My bike only cost £175 (boardman hybrid comp 2010) but i still dont want some scrote steeling it. I dont want to spend a fortune on a lock but then again dont want something that will take someone seconds to break into.

Id need to be able to click the lock onto the frame when not in use so weight and a good bracket are my main points...

I've been reading reviews on wiggle and alot of the suggest that mounting them on the frame often doesnt work...

Abus granite 54-x.

I think mine's the Abus Granite or something. Good locks. 40quid-ish?
It got a 'silver' rating in Abu's own 'gold-silver-bronze' rating thingy, which was basically a 'how long for a scrote to get the lock off' rating.

I think the general rule of thumb is to spend about 10% of the bikes value on locks, so you could pick up a decent kryptonite for 25 quid or so. Oh and that's a good price for a Boardman by the way

Thanks. Do most shops sell them and can they be mounted into the bike frame

Probably the best seller ?

I managed to get a Kryptonite kryptolok with a cable from Centro who operate the public transport here in the West Midlands, 10 quid for a 25 quid bit of kit.

I have 2. Kryptonite new York 3000 which was about £60. And more practically I carry round a halfords Magnum mini D lock. Which is sold secure gold and a really snug fit in the rear triangle and a sheffield stand.
