 Posted: 16:23 - 18 Mar 2008 Post subject: Bike thief killing device |
 |
|
Hey guys, been a bit concerned about my bike recently, was parked at my mates house, and the alarm kept going off. His area is well know for pikeys (west drayton), In the end I had to disarm the alarm, due to his parents trying to sleep. I was really worried it could be pikeys or chavs pissing about with it.
I was wondering, is there anyway I could modify my bike, with some form of device, that if it isn't deactivated, the bike won't move, or a quarter mile up the road, the front brake will lock, or something or the sort. Just so If someone does try stealing my bike, they can't or will get fucked in the process.
I did think about removing a nut from the wheel but it seems too much hassle, loosening and tightening everytime, or maybe a padlock or something over the brake lever to lock it on.
Any Ideas, It has to be portable, and cheap. The more gore and crazy the better  ____________________ ZX6R C6F.

Rig your bike up to a semi automatic mini gun
Or.. Use CCTV etc in case something does happen.
Or a few disc locks/ chains or ground anchors. ____________________ EMRA Roadstock #92 - Paperwork Permitted.

another less obvious thing is a cover, a dull coloured one.. just haveing it where it can't be seen will make it much less likely to go walkies.
or padlock on the brake disc, they might get it off but after fucking the disc it'll be going nowhere.
another quite clever thing i've seen is a lock which fits on your tyres valve, take it off without unlocking and the tyre goes down.. ever tryed to move a bike with a flat tyre? wont deter anyone wanting it for the back of a van but thats not likely unless its worth anything, i'd say 95% of the time it'll be pikey scum, specially smaller bikes and scooters. ____________________ >RidingSkills<->Tech Tips<->MyBikes< |

Some sort of automatic garrot.
I piano wire, probably a high C or G depending on your mood springs up out of a contraption on the handle bars, lasoo's (sp?) anyone sitting on the seat and tightens (possibly some sort of hydraulic system) thus decapitating the erst-while rider...
Need to remember to deactivate it before sitting on it yourself...
Failing that, chaining it to a lamp post is good. I got a good deal on a D lock and metal rope thing. D lock goes through the front forks with the two loops at the end of the wire rope threaded through.
All fits under the seat on my tiny hair dryeresque bike...
(Oh, and flick the kill switch, every little helps...) ____________________ Didn't catch anything. |

Problem with a theif killing device is if you forget about it it will kill you.

Scary, although that guy was hitting nothing... I reckon I could survive it...

Shaane sorry I was being a bit of a gun nerd...
My point is miniguns are fully automatic, as are light machine guns and assault rifles ect.
Where as most hanguns and an assortment of sniper rifles, shotguns and even grenade launchers are SEMI-automatic, that cycle semi automatically aided by recycled gasses that force tha slide/ cocking mechanism back and load a round ready to fire (known as blowback).
Fully automatic weapons are based on several machanisms,
firstly there are blowback systems very similar to that of a semi auto gun apart from tha fact that in blowback guns tha rapid expansion of gases will force tha actual bolt back.
Then there is Gas driven which is basically tha same except it diverts tha gas back towards tha bolt through tha use of a piston that recocks tha cycle.
Then there is a recoil effect gun, many of tha early gatling guns and MG's are based on this, where tha force of tha bullet creates an equal reaction where tha gun kicks back, though this 'recoil' is captured in tha mechanism which uses tha barrel to cycle tha rounds.
If thats sorted you, Great
In any case I'll shut up now. |

Ugh, West Drayton/Hayes, Really the dregs of london live out here, not the kind that are "hard" enough to actually carry guns or sell drugs, proper typical suburban chavs... Drop a bomb on the whole fuckin area.
Wouldent surprise me at all, Mr.Z said it, a cover mate, a boring looking one, If they dont know what it is they dont know they want to steal it, and invariably they are too lazy and feckless to take off the cover and have a look. My cover goes on every night not because of the rain, but to keep prying eyes off my bike... |

Sparkplug inside the fuel tank sounds like a good start, or maybe explosive fork bolts. |
i belive the armstrong mt500 has a unboltable headstock designed for easy dissasembly and transport. exploding bolts there would be fun, chav nicks bike, press button and bang , the chav is rolling down the road on a heavy unicycle  ____________________ own: 81 xs1100g...
