  • It's obviously a good idea anyway, but is a well lubed lock mechanism harder to pick than a corroded one, I wonder?

    From what i heard from the people at SSD, some corroded pin tumblers are harder to pick then fresh ones. Corroded ones are also harder to key-bump. I do not know if this is true for disk tumblers as well.
    Still, i wouldn't let my lock corrode on purpose, the risk of it getting stuck is far too high.

    ... which prompted me, after reading this thread a few weeks ago, to buy some 19mm chain - dooh' I should have realised how heavy it is. LOL. Feck me, locking my bikes up with 3m of that is a right old exercise work out. Like dragging the Titanic out by the anchor chain.

    One of the manufacturers for 19mm chains actively discourages the use of those beasts on bicycles. Reason being that a few dropped links can damage the bike and on some bikes the chain won't fit trough the spokes if you want to lock a wheel.
    I think pragmasis will trade down to 16mm if the 19mm won't fit. Almax might do that as well if asked nicely.
