even if you've a £300 wheel and there's a piece of shit £100 bike?
don;t think people are idiots for not having cable locks: they offer no protection from an half-equipped thief.
good to hear people are confident in the atomics.
agree re the g-lock, but the BiKLOX looks great.
if you undo the crank it's unlikely you'll get it off the spindle. if you manage to the bike is still effectively immobilized by the device cutting across the spokes.
Well obviously there aren't good stats on this but I just feel a cable lock is a light visual deterrent wheras the atomic prevents the actual theft (but not damage). Visual is very important when tea leafs are scoping your bike out...
^ fair enough, but I'd worry that it still has all the issues of being low visibility therefore "tempting" someone and drawing attention. One reason why kryptos work I think is their bright well known colours (oh - an orange/yellow barrel, won't bother with that one).
