  I suppose thats true that they will just be out for higher end bikes than mine.

  I'll get dimensions of all the recommended locks, bend some wire to the shape and see how they fit for me, will try to find the best way of locking the front wheel to the frame then lock the rear and everything to any posts, I'd feel safer locking the rear and frame to the post. I didn't even think about the fact I'd have a huge gap as I was reading the posts in this thread, I'll post up a picture of how I eventually work it out so I might help someone else in the future

  In need of some lock advice from you GA2G or from anyone who would have a good idea.

  I've bought myself a mountain bike for when I go away to Uni next week, the bike itself cost me £280 and I wanted to secure it well enough not to get nicked whilst I'm in shops and etc.

  Looking through all the 37 pages I know which locks are best for primary and secondary protection, I thought I knew the perfect way to lock my bike up but now I have found that the width between my wheel + frame would make it around 15mm, of which many of these locks aren't wide enough, so I will have to twist the lock for them to fit and hope they are long enough to fit around a post.

  Onto my problem with front security, I can't shove a Kryptonite Mini on the front rim + front frame as I would have a large gap, perfect for some levering or those stubby jacks to fit inside, would it be okay to lock my bike to the arch on the front fork to keep the wheel from being nabbed.
