Hey, I'm thinking about getting a U-Lock or Disc-Brake Lock, are they advantages to Ulock>disc brake lock or vice versa? and which ones do you guy recommend getting?

 

I've had a bike stolen with a disc lock so that shows how effective they are. The thieves will simply pick up the back end (or whole bike) and drag it into a van or trailer. The only way to secure a bike is chain it to something.

locks might stop a unprepaired thief, but a pro will get itif he wants it.

 

I have a Xena disc lock, like Rolandk said if someone want your bike they will just pick it up and carry it to a waiting van[:@]even w it chained up if they want it bad enough they will cut chain etc. Certainly having a disc lock is a good idea imo, unless its a new ducatti most thieves will prob move on to the next bike w no disc lock, just my 2 cents

 

which xena disc brake do you have? and would you recommend it?

 

i've seen locks for the clutch lever. it's a really good idea to have one along with the disc lock for the front wheel. this way the can't steal your bike unless they lift the whole bike into a car.

 

I have an alarmed disc lock, with a chain to a post, with a cover on so its not eye candy.

 

does the alarmed disc lock come with a pager? if it does, it is something i would definitely consider.

 

ya for sure i rec, its the 7mm pin one, yellow in color. I keep it locked to rear tire, also have "reminder" bungee cord w it, the front tire i keep locked via ignition switch, that being said, if someone wants my bike they will have to lift it completly off the ground.

 

Whats the model#? im on the website and theres so many different locks lol
