  • I bought the New York Evo Mini based on reports from here. Are you saying it doesn't work as a decent tea leaf proof lock for my beloved?

    I believe the Evo Mini is a compromise lock. Its good, but the weight is reduced, as is its strength. It wouldn't match any of the Kryptonites already in the list. I doubt it would match any of the others either.

    Depending on where you live, work, or simply park/lock your bike, thieves are becoming more serious. Bikes are being stolen to order, and fixed/ss bikes are flavour of the day. Some of the thieves are professional enough to read this forum, so they can take their Gumtree adverts down, alter them, then put them back up again.

    My advice, if its worth anything, is to:

    Leave your bike locked in a place where a thief would be seen if trying to steal your bike.
    Leave it in view of CCTV if possible.
    Use the best locks you can.
    If really expensive, consider using a sound alarm as well, especially if leaving in a communal hallway.

    Maybe stick an alarmed disk lock through your chainring at night?

    Every little helps.......
