[@ex0stasis72]

@@eddygci8 I don't think it matter which cable lock you buy too much because they all can be snipped in a few seconds. It's just recommended that you use it for the other wheel that didn't get locked with your U-Lock. The relative low value of the front wheel combined with the thief needing to bring a pair of cable cutters is pretty effective at protecting your bike, as long as you don't leave your bike overnight.

[@hwrdgrn]

I live in a medium sized town ( 350 K ) an hour outside of Tokyo, Japan. For more than two years, I left my bicycle completely unlocked everywhere I go, hoping that someone will take it, because I needed an excuse to get a new bicycle. No such luck ... In fact, one night, it was taken from a spot in front of the station, but it was returned to the same spot, the next morning. There is also absolutely no litter and no graffitti, anywhere on the streets. It is not the locks that need improvement, it is the attitude of people that needs adjustment.

[@gg-gamers]

In Japan if you get a job it's nearly impossible to be fired. In the US, exploitation and financial instability have been institutionalized. The attitudes that need to be adjusted are those who defend the way we do business, like right to work laws. The name of the law is literally deceptive, it should be "right to put you on food stamps for any reason or no reason at all."

The golden rule is to add time to any theft attempt. The reality is if they want it bad enough they'll have the tools to remove it, but if it takes time to cut through a combination of locks any thief will move on to an easier target.

Have two visible locks. Any professional thief will immediately look for another target because he knows there might be more trouble he's not seeing from across the street (such as that seat securing chain). Total game changer!

For protecting wheels, seats, and other components, I would recommend the German made HexLox. They fit into where your Allen key goes into a hex bolt. It blocks someone from using a tool to loosen the hex bolt. They are not cheap, but work very well. For high risk areas, I would suggest using 2 locks rated Gold or Diamond by Sold Secure (British testing company). They basically go from Bronze (least secure), Silver, Gold, and Diamond (most secure). Of course never use cable locks, unless you want an excuse to buy a new bike... 🚴‍♂️

Great information! Thank you. Lived in New York (City) for over 10 years. Thankfully, didn't lose a bike even though I would lock it up outside overnight in the East Village. Rode it pretty much every single day. The weather did beat it up pretty badly, though, so I would find a way to take it in at night going forward. Used an expensive U-lock and heavy chain, linking frame and wheels. Also used the seat-bike chain-inner tube trick! Yes, the chain lock was a bit heavy, but it made my legs stronger. My pedals were stolen once in midtown, though. :)

[@robinheil]

Know your bike's serial number. That way, if your bike is stolen, you can file a police report and prove it belongs to you. Also, be careful about locking to a street sign, because they can remove the sign and lift your bike off the pole. That actually happened to my friend once. I've seen several of those Orange Kryptonite locks recently cut on my local stolen bike group. I might have to upgrade to the Yellow one.

[@TerryB]

also great info. NYC police don't do much when recovering bikes :(

[@GM-uq1xz]

Bro u have absolutely no idea how easy it is to cut through any loco with the right tools. The yellow one would just add about 30 second more to the cutting time... all u need is the right grinder technique and anything melts like butter. U can lock it up however u want it only takes about 120 seconds max for me to go through your lock. I save old abandoned bikes from the streets. Those yellow kryptpnite locks aren't that much better. The worst ones are the bell locks those melt instantly lmao kryptonite locks melt a little slower but they melt regardless.

[@bonnieboy190]

Bike serial numbers - here in southern Ireland every house address has a unique postal code (eircode), every few months the local police station advertise open days where they stamp/engrave the eircode number to the frame...makes recovery easier when a bike is 'half inched'

To prevent the wheels being stolen I replaced the quick releases with locking skewers. They come with a special key wrench to remove the wheel. Also have a locking seat post clamp that also comes with a special key wrench. Not 100% secure but will deter an opportunist thief. These parts were quite cheap.

[@rezaDoz]

More Bike Snob!! What a legend

[@bluntandy]

When I was in London we would super glue ball bearings into hex bolts. Nail polish remover gets them out when you need. Two different locks like the D lock and a cable is handy as (I was told) thieves tend to carry one tool to break a specific type of lock. Now I'm in Finland and locking bikes is so much less stress. So long as there's a lock you're good.

No check out hexlock they lock all your removable accessories

[@Jacob_Dwyer]

Locking your back wheel and your frame does take up volume of the lock (limiting leverage attacks) but those little u-locks are designed to be locked just around the back wheel, but inside of the rear triangle. It isn't intuitive, but that way you don't have to set the lock at "just the right angle", and your frame is effectively locked. And there is enough room if you want to remove and set your front wheel next to it inside the lock shackle. Just make sure the lock is inside the area bordered by your chain- and seat-stays, and your seat tube. Try it, you'll see.

[@mauriciolima1088]

I see what you mean!! That's a great tip

[@TylerDickey1]

Preach my friend! If you can take your front wheel off, you can get it in with the back wheel in a 9" U-lock. Just go around the rear wheel in the rear A-frame without the seat tube.

I'm in Nova Scotia , Canada and this is what I did. 1 kryptonite cable,the long one and three quality sleeve theft proof locks. If i had 6 locks and two cable i would have used them as 30 pounds in a backpack on a bike was normal for me , even on the trails.i know there is no such thing as a sleeve theft proof lock yet three good locks with the cable tight and around certain needed areas means that it is harder and it takes much longer for a thief to steal the bike. Lock it in front of a bank,jewelry store and/or any place that you can confirm that has cameras or near a place that does pointing in that area. if someone wants the bike they gonna get it. Best to slow them down as much as possible for witnesses and cameras.

I always found that two u locks and a cable were the best. Get a backpack and use a long cable and the u locks to do both wheels and frame to anything that will hold the entire bike down. Use star lugs to lock in the wheels and saddle. It’s always harder for them.

YES! Brompton! Just got one a couple of months ago. I don’t even bring a lock with me any more. Ride it to work and take it inside and fold it up and put it in a corner away from everyone. I’ve taken it into a few businesses so far, but not many (not going to to many places because of the pandemic). A little worried I might be rejected from some place and then not able to lock it up (but wouldn’t want to under any circumstances anyway), but so far so good. Also, because they are expensive, I am a little worried about having it taken from me by muggers, either right on the street or while carrying it onto public transportation. We’ll see.

Saddle is indeed important. I’ve never had a bike stolen, but once the saddle and once the rear wheel (back then I only used to secure the front wheel because I assumed dismounting the rear wheel was too cumbersome).

[@daynniteism]

Great video! Pro tip: You don’t even need to lock the frame -- as long as you lock the back wheel to something, INSIDE the frame, it will have the same effect. This is sometimes useful, like when the object you’re locking to requires a few extra inches of your U-lock.

[@axeljunkuhn.5985]

YES! THANK YOU! I just mentioned that in my comment as well, something that needs to be more spread within the cyclist community as it is essentially better because you can use a smaller lock which is safer having the same security effect. Like an ABUS Granite Plus 640 in 6" instead of the 9" version for example.

[@TheAnonyy]

I normally lock seat stays through the wheel

[@BeaverTerror]

Never do this. Someone who doesn't realize how this works will come alone, unbolt your wheel from your frame, and then kick / thrash your frame around trying to get your bike free. Bending and permanently destroying both your frame and your wheel.

[@TheAnonyy]

@@BeaverTerror I've always locked my hybrid bike using the seat stays, to fill the gap so a bottle jack could not be used! I've caught someone twice having a look, I didn't alert them but just watched them from a distance! A 3rd time look like there was an attempt on the lock, the shackle has a small dent in it. I still have the bike, this was years ago. But I've just gotten more locks and registered it with a bike scheme so there's visible stickers on it. The tubing on my hybrid bike is very thick and heavy they couldn't bend it by hand without some sort of large tool. I'm going to look at hex locks too. I would expect them to go for the more modern desirable bikes, yes my bike is unique looking styling but it was cheap I got it in a sale so its not as expensive as it may look.

[@mangohwy]

Long time NYC bike commuter here, EV to Midtown mainly, but ride everywhere and will leave my ~$600 fixed gear out overnight. If you use a u-lock make sure it locks on both sides of the U. That orange one you have only locks one side and can be popped with a crowbar. I've had bike locks ruined from crowbars, but never popped and bike never stolen. A good U- lock around the front wheel, frame and good pole hasn't failed me. Personally I use the expensive, but dependable ABUS Bordo XPlus as it gives me a little more flexibility to fit around the aforementioned.
