Just thought that I'd let people know that they have the disk lock in at 7.99 in my local store looks good quality.

They may be starting to get some more gear items in over the few weeks, this one is tools looks like some good ones at that.

M & P are doing BOGOF for 5 quid, wonder if delivery is ok from their makeshift new home, and whether del charge is OTT. Idea

Nah, it just says everything about the rioters. When you're looking to tax the latest, expensive,top line mobile phones, large screen TVs and branded "sports"gear, it must be a disappointment to be presented with a store full of cheap tins of beans and basic food stuff, and low cost obscure branded consumer electronic and DIY items.

It's not, "Here's this store that sells all this expensive gear we can't afford on our meager incomes, let's burn it down as a protest against flaunting their blatant affluence in our faces", it's more a case of, "This is crap, who wants all this dirt cheap food and unbranded cheap stuff. Where's the bling in that? Let's torch it anyway"

When the difference between raiding a shop and stealing stuff and going in and paying for it equates to £1.78, it might be worth going elsewhere Laughing .

I didnt actually KNOW that the Lidl's et. al. actually sold FOOD. I get most of my unusual bits and pieces from there, electric winches, rattle guns, some quite good tools too. I know its Chinese crap, but, so far, the stuff has done its job. What I wonder is where will the wino's go for their fix now?

It's a visual deterrant, with a visual reminder. You can't really ask for much more than that for £8.

I'm pretty sure its German, hence the good quality of lots of the gear.

They may buy Chinese shit but highly doubt it. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Thumbs Up

I'm guessing it'll fit both front and rear disk? Anyone know if that's right cos I'm thinking of buying 2, 1 for front and rear so that when the bikes parked up in my mates garage it'll give me that slight extra feeling of protection.

Plus they'll go for his bike first if mine looks too much trouble to nick Razz

Depends on the disc design. That lock uses a pin to lock it, if the pin will fit through one of the venting holes in your disc then yes it will fit, if it wont or if you don't have drilled discs then because most rear discs are not floating, it probably wont.


You don't need two anyway. Disc locks prevent someone rolling up, jamming a screwdriver in the ignition, breaking the steering lock and riding away. They do not prevent white van man from picking it up and stuffing it in his van, no number of disc locks will stop this - you need good chains and immovable objects like ground anchors to stop this.

It's much easier to get a bike into a van if the rear wheel spins freely. One man could get it up a ramp by lifting the front end. It'd take 2 or 3 people to physically lift the bike in.

Is a cheap disc lock easy to crack open? I'm sure professional thieves are capable.

Yes, I'm sure most amateur morons are capable too tbh.


As rogerborg said, it is a visual deterrent and a minor mechanical deterrent.


Rather than buying two of them you'd be better off buying something gross and sticky to put on the handlebars and all over the seat, that is about as good a deterrent as an additional shit disclock.
