what are the best locks to stop the thieving pikey b######s
The most expensive and heavy ones. good reports of Almax but I have not used 'em. I prefer shackle / D locks but the shackle must lock both ends for strength.
£60 upwards
can boltcutters actually get thru d/shackle locks
If someone is determined you can't stop em. You can only slow them down. Electric cutters can go through pretty much everything. With a D one you are doubling their time because they have to cut the lock on two places so get two of those. Most decent bikes I have seen locked around my area - Watford - they are locked with two D locks. I don't leave mine outside anywhere any more as I had a GT stolen.
Home = BFO lock and chain which is impossible to carry anywhere (Almax)
Out and about = never leave nice bike unattended, have scud bike for commute/post office/pub trips
Get a Brompton and take it with you. Pub/Shop/Commute.
BFO (almax) where from?
