    but pretty solid

    +1 for the kryptonite New York. My only concern is that as they're so well known and well regarded – and so bloody expensive – they probably do rather highlight an expensive bike to the scrote-in-the-know. So whilst you would return to find your frame and rear wheel intact, everything else could still be gone.

    That's a long winded way of saying there's no such thing as the perfect bike lock.

    cheers for the suggestions, to be honest its for the home so it can be a big chunky thing as its to lock a few bike up

    They can all be cut by a battery angle grinder and your frame with a junior hacksaw.
    I prefer the two decent locks [New York above + an Oxford one and a ground anchor ]and a number of other locks. Wheels off skewers + seat stored elswhere. Ocassionally undo stem bolts as well. Sacrificial bike just propped up unlocked. If they want them they will need to work for them.
    Suspect it will not be opportunists who target me so good locks + excellent insurance IMHO.

    I went for a kryptonite new york chain, can lock up to 2/3 bikes with it as 150cm long. Not very pratical to carry around though, weighs 8 kilos!

    Abus Granit 54 X-Plus.

    If i lock my bike up at uni, i use an abus granit mini lock with pitlock skewers in the wheels.

    Ground anchor discretely into the wall not floor and use an Almax…sorted. My chosen method of securing my bikes

    Abus Granite and Kryptonite New York didn't fair too well in this vid:

    Not sure if they're the same as mentioned above.

    Almax or Pragmasis are the best bet, 16mm or above.

    Which is why I recommended a D Lock.

    People are aware that some bike thieves have been hacksawing through frames to steal bikes aren't they? If they are breaking them anyway, the frame is just a part and the other components still make it worth their while. Don't scrimp on your building security just to buy a big chain.
