  The nuts are £2 and the tool is a tenner, have not tried them as I normally ulock my wheels so don't know how good they are.

  Thinnest cable possible + luggage padlock = fail.

  That's what I use for club runs (Cornwall/Devon) at cafe stops, most everyone else leaves theirs unlocked.

  Aviva fails to peddle bike insurance with bungled PR stunt:

  Bike Thief Nabbed...almost:

  "He was convinced he had locked the frame of his £350 bike to the stand with the D lock, but he has just retrieved his bike from the cop shop ‘minus one spoke’ – so silly fellow had locked his wheel with the D lock. A lesson to us all. Best to lock both cable and D lock through the frame."

  Can someone please give me the precise measurement on the width of a mini Evo? I need from the outsides of the D as I'm making a fabric horse so need to know how wide to make it.
  Cheers.

  width of evo mini = 11.7cm

  the fabric horse holster I have is 15.4 between the belt loops, 25cm overall length.

  Looks a bit tight, by eye it looks 14.5cm with one of the anti-rattle bumper's removed, hard to tell exactly though:

  Was on my way out of Tesco's the other day and saw a bloke with dusty lycra and top-range Sidis shopping, obviously after a long ride. Got outside and as expected his expensive Trek was leaning against the wall well away from the doors unlocked. Three lads walked by and one went to take it but the other two stopped him when they spotted me, I even hung around till he returned to his bike.
