What locks do you use, chain or D.

if thats what you think i hope you havent got a great bike because it will get nicked. those newyork noose/abus chains are nothing like normal chains u buy at a hardware shop, thats why they cost so much

Absolute Rubbish.....if you believe that then you're a muppet who deserves to be ripped off....do you think that cyclists are the only people who require high security, super-strong chains or locks? I'm not talking about the stuff you might use to make a garden fence you know....exactly the same chain AND super tough padlocks can be bought at SOME hardware stores and builders merchants for about a third the price.....put a fabric sleeve on it and recognized name and Brand-obsessesd "you get what you pair for" mantra chanting idiots will pay through the nose.....(cyclists)

I was a courier for six and half years and never had a bike nicked, so that's what I'm basing my opinion on....

You only think that major name bike locks are stronger because they've told you so in their marketing spiel (marketing is a huge part of the cost of your lock)....big whoopy flip....loads of people have had bikes nicked whilst locked with Abus, Krypto etc...

Quite a few people had a go at my bike (come out of the pub to obvious damaged rims, scratched frame, etc) but they never managed to release it....my chain and lock combo cost £7.50 eight years ago and It's still working fine....sorry if that doesn't fit in with your perception.
