Might want to update signature or tell us what bike then because..

..is a bit more than £1000; unless you buy part of it, that is.
Alarmed disc locks, from what I've read on here, at pointless because cry wolf situation -- in as much as how many times do you jump up the window to a non existent thread before giving up and a real one occurs; and even then what do you really do?
Owning a £1000 bike, though, and only allotting £100 to secure it is pretty pointless; might as well get yourself a lock from poundland and have done with it.
Disc locks are better used on the rear sprocket, or disc, because the front can be lifted and the rear wheel will roll when pushed forward; often used to put bikes into vans; or go with both, if you've got the time.
Ground anchor's a good idea; any one is better than nothing I'd imagine.
Chain usually Almax or Pragmasis here; you won't find them anywhere but online.
You'll want a cover, too; and luggage to carry the chains around with you, too. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |

Either a fuck off loud alarm that goes off if your bike is moved a mm, in the hope it scares away the thief or if not gives you time to wake up and tool up.
Or you could go the other way with a silent alarm/baby monitor if your feeling wide awake and ready at all times (but mostly night) to go out all stealthy and sneek up on your bikes attackers.
If neither of the above sound plausible or ideal for you, then your better off booby trapping the bike every night or rigging up a folding electric fence connected to a mains supply.
Only real way to prevent someone taking your bike away if they really want it is the 3 'D's
1, Disarm
2, Disable
3, De-motivate
You could add De-cappitate to this, but I don't think you'll get away with chopping up too many theives before you get caught and sentenced to a good long stretch. If going this route I'd suggest being as brutal and savage as your imagination will allow, as if your going to get put away in a cell, you might as well go down being known as a right fucking animal not an accidental murderer. |

Buy a couple of metres of 16mm (or larger) anchor or lift chain. Much cheaper than Almax or Pragmasis, probably not croppable, will take a few seconds less to go through with an angle grinder. A patient and industrious person could probably hacksaw through it, which rules out that method for pikies.
Spend the savings on a crossbow. They were coming right for you.
If you're not prepared to murderkill a pikey, what do you imagine you'll do during the extra few seconds that an Almax or Pragmassis will give you? Fvcks given by tooled up career pikies are approaching zero. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

This is what is wrong with our country. We are expected to act like sheep and run away from people who attack us or take our valuables. If we don't do that, we will very likely find ourselves in more trouble than the animals who prey on the decent citizens. The justification for this is that the police will protect the citizenry and that all force is in the hands of the state. The problem is - that's all a big lie. The police will not protect you or even investigate your loss and they use no force unless you are roaming about with a gun in public. Moped criminals only have to take off their helmets to be given a free pass and when they do, pursuing police desist from following them in case the poor little fellahs get hurt. In fact, they should be riding them down and running over them repeatedly. Then they would be doing their job of preventing crime and disorder and protecting the respectable public. |
