Griplock Device - Are they worth using?

[Aceslock]

Whenever i park my bike in town (normally less than an hour if i can help it), i always get that 'is it still there' feeling when i am walking back.

Currently i only use the steering lock, so was wondering if these devices are any good as i can store this under my seat quite comfortably....

As good as a disc lock really

Will stop someone just pushing bike away but not stop it being chucked in a van

A steering lock is marginally better than nothing, this is marginally better than that, but not as good as a disc lock since Pikey McScrote could just cut the brake line or cut or unbolt the lever - he only needs one brake. None of them are going to bother anyone coming equipped with a grinder.

Easier to fit than a disc lock though, and no chance of an accidental ride-away. Probably about as likely to send a casual eye onto the next bike in line.

How much are they? £15 or so? Eh, I might get one in the spring, after Muffs Off.

Yes that's what i was thinking, regarding the disclock.

I very rarely go out leaving the bike unattended, but it is nice to have some peace of mind than none at all when i do.

The issues with taking advantage of steering locks are: when some worthless prick boots the handlebars to the right, it makes the steering useless due to the handlebar lock stop metal being twisted. You also have to buy a new set of handlebars and lock pin if you wan't to use it again. Disk lock is better IMHO but i just use a good chain w/o activating the steering lock. Criminals are dumb, they'll still ruin an activated steering lock even if there's clearly a huge chain round the bike's frame.

Thanks for the reply guys. I think i will go ahead and get 1 anyway, as they are not that expensive.

And as you say, some protection is better than fuck all
