Subject: disc locks and chain locks
hi @-riders,
Here are my thoughts about disc locks:
Have you ever imagined that it is very easy to steal a bike even if
it is locked with a dic lock? Just put a skateboard under the front
wheel and it it around the corner...and the bike is gone!
the only safe lock IMHO is a chain lock with which you lock your bike
to a fixed point like a lantern or a fence etc. I use a ABUS Granit
- very heavy, you can also kill the thief with it ;-) and very
expensive - but it was found the best and most undestroyable chain
lock tested. Maybe itīs uncomfortalbe to use, but better than
destroying brake discs...
