I don't think there is one that's unbreakable so I use a cheap one as a deterrent.  Im sure if a tea leaf wanted your bike they would break any lock. :'(

If it's a disk lock ad they wanted it they would just lift it into a van.

I was once told by a traffic cop that all chains and locks have to be breakable to a degree in case the emergency services need to move your bike. (In an emergency, obviously).

Oxford screamer is quite good, well made, quite sensitive,  but like previous  comments they can just lift it in to a van, so used in conjunction with a good chain and lock on a post or something in the ground it is Ok.

motrax vishas is as good as they get
almax 16mm chain attached to something permanent is the only real solution..............or live somewhere nice ;)

I have this one, but took the battery out because the alarm bit is crap.


No matter what one you have, all they have to do is break the disc with a nice big bar. Or just throw the bike in a van, as has already been said.


The reason I like this one is that it is a nice big deterrent for the opportunist thief.

Thanks Nightfury think I might get the one from Halfords and a big chain as well can use the chain and lock then when needed.
