So what if the article is 8 months old? It doesn't take effect till 2019-2024. For some, hearing the news late, it will still be an uncomfortable future.

Fark me.

I've bought from Clove and also from Expansys, with no troubles ever.

The Mini-5 would just scrape into the Secondary Locks list (13mm), and the Mini-6 (11mm) wouldn't even make it. Is it worth it to lose a bike, based on the (short) time you're locking it up for? I started these threads because I had my beloved Peugeot nicked, followed years later by my pride-and-joy Klein. One was nicked within a space of two minutes, the other was nicked over a few hours. In both cases, my locks were not up to the task. I hope you gain something from this.

@farewell are you thinking of using either lock as a sole lock, or as secondary lock? If its as a secondary lock, then check out the Secondary Locks thread. If you intend using just one lock, then it might not be strong enough for your peace of mind. Check out the list of locks on the first page of this thread.

................such a satisfying process doing it myself :)

Graphite grease, for me, is a catch-all term for graphite lubes. There are the greasy kind, and the powder kinds. I have used the grease kind for if my lock is outdoors a lot. But I'd use the powder kind just as happily, but maybe a bit more often. Here are a few examples of the powder versions.

Done, and also added to the Film Processing thread. Many thanks. Very useful.

I recommend lithium graphite for any part of the lock that actually turns.

Very nice.

My advice is to use lithium grease, and eventually when it begins to gunk up, a quick blast of WD40 to clean it, then re-lube with lithium again. Repeat to infinity.

Its a fail, from here.

It's a great lock. But it NEEDS to be properly lubricated with lithium grease. If that is done, it's fine. The Scandinavian users were using it ungreased, and complaining that it was failing. I am the person that gave the comment that it needs to be lubed. The same applies to OnGuard locks, a bit more than Kryptonite and Abus locks.

I'd personally use the Clas Ohlson lock and have few concerns.

I'm with you.

Good shout.

And this guy (below) sums up my sentiments exactly.

Clear advantage is judged by the stewards. There is no mathematical formula.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/125207 - last paragraph copied below.

*Whiting added drivers will also be reported to the stewards if they gained a "clear and lasting advantage by leaving the track" during the race.*

Some thoughts from Jackie Stewart.

But there is only a penalty if the driver gained a clear advantage. It seems that the stewards, and even Rosberg, don't quite see things the way you do.

Didn't both Hamilton AND Rosberg exceed track limits after the start? Any clear advantage should result in the driver in front reducing the gap to the one behind, so there was no longer any advantage, or giving the driver behind the position. Also, first lap incidents, especially regarding the first two corners, are given a more lenient treatment than from then on in the race. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Vettel has made F1 great again.

RBR had privately contracted Ilmor to get more performance from the Renault unit, then Renault followed up by using them too. So its not really RBR that got the extra performance out of the engine. Their chassis, .......now that a different kettle of fish.

Best qualy position IMO, was 5th place by Hulkenburg (relative to expectations). This must be galling for his Mexican fellow Force India driver Sergio Perez, who must wish he'd got into Q3, since their car was capable.

Aperture is very good, as they have a quality selection, but prices are a bit higher. I recommend Ffordes more than anyone else, and I think I've bought from most.

Unfortunately, they're currently out of stock. My apologies.

Alternatively, Nicholas Cameras seem to have everything. But they also offer they worst customer service (its what many people say online).

You've got a good eye.

It is exclusive and that is what Ron Dennis fought hard to protect. But this went against Honda's benefit, as they could have ramped up their development so much faster if even Manor and Haas had used Honda units. As for size zero design, I'm not that te chnical enough to answer that, and maybe @gridds might be the better person to field that one.

Ok, I misunderstood and thought it was the rubberized surround on the shackle. But keeping dust and water out of your lock is useful too. Unless of course you know to lube with graphite grease regularly....
