U-lock or Disc lock?

(1/8) > >>

rlkat:
Are there other brands of u-lock other than Yamaha that fit under the seat in the slots and clips or can anyone recommend a decent disc lock?


Cheers

I've got an Oxford Boss that comes with a mounting bracket.

Hi Rob I'm not a fan of disc locks as there's always the chance you forget it's on and ride off. Saying that the new ones come with a motion alarm. Lad I park next to uses an On-guard brute lock. It looks a decent piece of kit don't know how much he paid for it though. I'm a chain and lock man, I've got one at home one at work and a smaller one under the seat. Anythings better than nowt to try and stop or at least slow down the thieving little b*stards.

Was gonna say the same, they mean well but an accident waiting to happen.

In my city and country, they put bikes in a van. Disc lock does little to help prevent that. As well as the alarm. Tying the bike to some post does make them need to cut the cable/chain though. Having alarm at the same time does make it all a bit extra less comfortable. So they might just go for another, easier prey.

I wrote two articles on bicycle safety - but similar goes for motorcycles, only a chain can be a bit thicker if possible (12 mm).
