Suitable lightweight lock for JOGLE

[djb1971]

I've been using a Knog milkman for cafe stops. It's a key lock not combination and seems to be stronger than my eBay combination lock I purchased. If I need stronger I just bite the bullet and carry a mini shackle with a thick kryptonite cable. A ground spike helps if you're camping too, there's no way you can pull it from the ground.

I always wondered about those. If they're unable to be pulled from the ground... how do YOU get it out when you finish a a site in a morning? Genuine question, i'm not a camper though so I have no idea.

Your first post say QR wheels, remove the front and lock it at the back. You don't have to keep it in situ.

They are like a giant corkscrew, twist in-twist out.

But then what stops Johnny Thief unscrewing it?

If I'm in my tent with the ropes going through the bike which is also locked I think they'd wake me up!

Twisting a whole bike around about a dozen turns that's tangled to my tent and locked onto a big spike about 2ft away from me isn't going to happen without waking me. Most camp sites or places that I wild camp are 99% safe when you're nearby

I have the perfect suggestion for a LEJOG but nothing for a JOGLE - sorry.

Hip-lok is the answer, easy to carry, generally reasonable lock imho

well the little alarm lock I bought for this le jog failed in the rain leaving bikes locked to a lamp post with alarm blasting out...only a size 12 raod shoe and some wire cutters from the hardware store could 'fix' the dam thing.

On my recent trip I just used a one of those thing cable combination locks. Long enough to secure a wheel and frame, and gives enough peice of mind not to worry all the time. Could probably be cut with a hefty pair of pliers by a nasty theif but good enough to stop someone just running off with your bike.
