Locks that work

Sure you CAN, but this thread is actually about Locks That Work. Not locks that might be okay, maybe I hope.

I had a Klein mountain bike., and it was stolen when I had used 2 cheap u-locks. If your lock has value, get a lock from the list on the first page of this thread. If you don't care about the bike, leave it unlocked. Its the same as buying 2 cheap locks. Its your call.

This simply isn't true - don't be a cock.

All locking is about risk reduction, not elimination - someone with power tools and time can get through any lock.

Of course a good lock, used well, is better than a crap lock used badly. Two cheap locks, used well, will deter a lot of potential attempts, and resist some actual attempts. Whether they're better or worse than one good lock is something I'm not qualified to answer.

Me, I go for one good lock which doesn't appear on your list and that you've dissed here based on a review by folk who obviously didn't grasp how it was put together. I realise it won't prevent all thefts, but it reduces the risk to a point where I'm happy to accept it.
