  Loving the look of this bag, just wondering about the capacity, would it be appropriate for carrying round a 13' MacBook, spare layer, a couple a4 pads/books and other student junk?

  I wouldn't bother with the onguard, only 14mm shackle. The abus is the better choice.

  But I would stretch your budget and get lock everyone raves about, kryptonite Fahgettaboudit.

  Is all a matter of luck, all you can do is improve your odds.

  True, the bike only set me back £250 so initially didn't really want to shell out £60 for a fahg mini, but i suppose being a fairly good spec Dolan pre curse it'll still be pretty attractive to thieves. Also wasn't keen on having to carry around 2 locks, would this be recommended over ball bearings/pitlocking the front end up?

  Looking for a primary lock to lock up a Dolan pre cursa around Edinburgh/occasionally SW London deciding between onguard brute mini or abus 401 mini? Not really wanting to spend above £40 if I don't have to, anyone me with advice on either of them? Can't find too many reviews on either. Thanks.

  Should have said, bike will be locked up for short periods (couple of hours at a time) around the city during the day and secure bike shed at night.

  Onguards have a reputation for not being well (or at all) weatherproofed IIRC. FWIW I've got 2 Abus Mini 40s and they work very nicely. They certainly feel very solid. They are pretty small though: you're unlikely to get round a frame tube, wheel and bike stand unless you have mad tight clearances.

  So do you use the abus 40's as a primary?

  Yes I was looking at the decathlon ones, hadnt realised it was a different model. I was originally leaning towards the on guard as it is rated as the 3rd best primary d on the first page whilst the abus only appears on the secondary list, any reason for choosing one over the other?
