Hey guys. I live in one of the highest theft rate citys in america. Stockton, California.

to battle this I have purchased this: http://www.amazon.com/OnGuard-Rottwe.../dp/B000FL1BHU

It is 5.5 feet long and 1 inch in diameter. Its very thick and tough, but I dont know where to wrap it around. Right now im using a thinner chain and chaining it to a gate every night, lacing it through the frame in the side access door. This cable lock is alot thicker and will not fit through there. any ideas?

 

What type of bike are you locking down?

 

Maybe weld i nifty, spiffy lookin, un-obtrusive, low key lookin, little loop onto your swing arm?

I have also seen swing arms with hollows in their frame. Lock nuts, and go through the rim maybe.
They wont get far missing a wheel anyhow.

 

It is a CBR F3. I cant do the wheel. too many people say wheels are easily taken off by thieves. it doesnt have a hollow swing arm either =[

 

I dont like cable locks due to the fact that a pair of bolt cutters from a hardware store that cost less then $50 can get through ANY cable locks, I bought an alarm system for my bike and I might get the LoJack system when I save some money, I would die if my bike got taken just so someone could part it out and make a couple bucks to buy some beer!
