  • Thats a built in bike lock yeah ? Seems like a good idea (Dutch bikes have them) Wont stop a thief walking off with your bike but a good backup/deterrant lock I suppose

    It's not really effective as an anti-theft measure - I'm sure you could bust it with ease, but it's great for keeping the wheel straight when the bike's on the sidestand - especially if it has a heavy basket on the front. Very easy to ride off with it locked though :-)

  • There's a girl I see on my way to uni sometimes with one of these on her bike. It's not forgotten yet...

  • I've seen them on sale in shops!

    I had one of them!

  • Maguras are brilliant, i had a set of the bright red tomac edition. solid braking but a bugger to set up and maintain. Out in Berlin last week I saw hundreds of bikes with them.

    They are incredibly useful, potentially life saving if you ever ride on major carriage ways.
