Okay, I'll now be happy to take £190 posted for the next day and insured. :)

Its a complete waste of time. Avoid it like the plague. Its discussed Pitlocks are the daddy, but the rest are all good deterrents to opportunistic thieves.

Are there any alternatives to Pitlocks for normal axels? Something like locking wheel nuts on a car?

Hmm, okay thanks guys. I thought the price I'm asking was reasonable as it's cheaper than anywhere else I've seen — including those broken from kits on Amazon like mine. I haven't been checking for used ones going on eBay but if they really do go for £160 maybe I'll reconsider my price though I still think it's fair. I am happy to take offers anyway.

Cheers,

I've seen a few others on here selling stuff for their Micro 4/3 cameras so I thought I'd stick something of mine up here too:

It's the 14mm f/2.5 wide angle pancake lens that comes boxed with the Lumix GF2. I never used it due to owning another lens for the camera so it's still as new.

**THIS IS NOW SOLD. **

Cheers,

I recently got a brand new off-the-peg Bianchi Pista steel which came with these 44cm steel drop bars and brake. I rode with them for about 50 miles. The brake wasn't used once and the bars and white Bianchi tape still look as though they've never been touched.

I have no idea how much they're worth. Is anyone able to give me an idea?

That'll sell mate. I've got a Lumix 14mm f/2.5 lens up on eBay at the moment, it's not had much interest but I'm sure it'll sell eventually… m4/3 users seem so few!

Lovely lens for those that shoot m4/3. Definitely worth snapping up!

Brilliant!

Nope, Andy is in paris now and im assuming he will be back in london on monday
Oscar khan and the other trick guys are in america

Thanks for the info man.

I'm desperate to get my hands on this tool.

i think they're away in america at the mo

Ah, thanks. I don't suppose you know when they return?

Does anyone know if the fixedgearlondon guys are away or something? I bought a LockWhip tool on the site a week ago and have heard nothing. I was really hoping to receive it by this weekend.

^^^^^^^ Ever thought about just getting an insurance approved lock and some insurance ? I have a few bikes and only ever use the same kryptonite lock (insurance approved) and a cheaper secondary lock depending on how long it's being left/if i can see it.

I think I'll need to have a read through the insurance thread!

I use a hiplok with my fahg mini tucked in it. Heavy as fuck but at least it's around the hips and not in my bag. Works for me, might work for you too, but you do risk hipster related derision.

Thanks man but I'd rather not use a chain.

I now use the Abus Granit X-Plus 54 with my Fahg, plus a Karbus alarm D-lock, in situations where I am really worried. But it would be easier to use one of their small alarm padlocks instead of their D-lock. I don't trust the Karbus however enough to be my secondary, it is just something that makes a noise alongside the Abus and Fahg.

Ahh rad, I'm pleased to hear this setup is actually used! I'd get an alarm padlock instead of the D lock like you mention. I don't suppose you could please stick up a photo of the Abus and the Fahg side by side so I can gauge the size difference?

Do these Abus X-Plus 54 locks actually come in 23cm and 30cm options or am I misunderstanding this?

I have just read all 29 pages on this thread. It’s been a huge help. Thanks GA2G and everybody else.

Earlier this week I ordered my first new bike, a Bianchi Pista steel, and I ordered the Fahg to secure it. Currently, to secure my beater I’ve been naively using a Series 2 Kryptolock and cable. Having read this thread – I think I’ll bin that lock.

I’m pleased I went for the Fahg (I’ll use “the edscoble method”) but I've since learnt that I’ll need a secondary u-lock from another brand, accompanied by an alarm lock.

As a secondary lock I’m thinking of going for the 23cm Abus Granit X-Plus 54. I know it'll be a pretty heavy pair weighing just over 4kg but I think I’d rather that than something smaller and croppable like the Mini Evo. The Abus should provide a little more convenience than the Fahg too.

Would anyone recommend an alternative setup to accompany my Fahg?
