Is this worth getting?

[Jon]

I lost my disc lock and noticed Big Bike Book are selling the:

OXFORD ENIGMA DISC LOCK £61.99

Now £39.99

"The ultimate disc lock is approved to the highest standards by Sold Secure and Thatcham - insurance discounts are available as a result"

Anyone got one? Worth the cash?

I prefere the old stick in the wheel.
To be honest i'm not a fan of disk locks, i'd probably forget its their.

But all in all there probably worth the money!

Consider getting a Grip Lock:

I've got one and it works a treat, and you can't really ride away without taking it off!

It also bleeds your brake system if left on for a while, so be aware when you use your brakes after taking the lock off...

I bought an oxford monster chain and enigma disk lock off ebay for £53, both these are brand new and thatcham approved. The padlock is absolutely massive so no one will ever nick your bike but before you buy from riossi have a look at ebay as there is a bloke on there that must work for oxford products (sihall2000) as he is always selling oxford security (he currently has 2 monster disk locks at £29, This is the new improved enigma by the way).

If your worried he might be dodgy, he has a rating of 1626 !

I got an Oxford Monster off him for £40, took a while to arrive but it's a £180 chain I believe. I use a disclock when I park at college, I don't forget it usually, sometimes I do, but I always park nose in so I don't ride off with it on.

I'm always a bit worried with those locks someone will just cut the brake hose .

It doesn't actually bleed it as such, it does compress the fluid, which hels air bubbles to join/rise.

It doesn't touch the clutch... and if it did, it'd make it worse because it would be holding it in

<addition>Oh, and fair point about cutting hose and nicking bike, but:

1.) If they're willing to nick the bike without brakes, then they've probably got a van (or suicidal) anyway, so a disc lock would be useless anyway in that situation.

2.) Unless the disc lock is very clearly visible, then there's that chance of the theives attempting to push your bike away, only to drop it once the lock hits the wheel or whatever.

Well a brake disk is alot cheaper to replace than an entire bike really...

I can't be bothered with disc locks, even if you have a disc lock it is only going to take 2 blokes and a van to steal the bike

[Phoenix]

exactly, so why bother using a disclock at all, let's make it easier for them

[G]

A disc lock should prevent your average pikey theft though

[Jon]

Interested in the Grip Lock. May just get a cheap disc lock now.

[Danny]

Too bad you were not at the BMF show today, there were some mega cheap disk locks there and they were quality Oxford ones.
I would advise using a chain anyway, then it is much more difficult for them to push it into the back of a van

[Jon]

I've got a chain, just need a disc lock for when I park up outside a mates house or something (you know what pikeys are like)!
