I will soon be moving to an apartment without garages to lock my bike up. So now i will have to figure out how i will lock my bike up so that it wont be as vulnerable to be stolen. The area where i am moving has quite a bit of thefts ( Denton, Texas if anyone is familiar with the Dallas area. ) so i want my bike to be protected the best it can be. What type of security system/Locks should i look at? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.[/align]

 

I dont know man, the only real way to keep her safe is in a garage. You can try disc locks, alarms, chocks, or lever locks, but if they want it, they are gonna get it. can you not get a place with a garage?

 

Mine sleeps outside too man... first couple weeks you'll wake up in the middle of the night and check on it but after a while it gets better!

I have a Xena disc lock with the 110dBalarm, a bike alarm, a Nelson-Rigg cover that always stays on the bike when it's parked, and I'm lucky enough to park within a stones throw to a couple police cruisers who live in my complex. Oh, and I have full coverage just in case it does get ganked.

 

just get some cheap form of security like a disc lock, and keep your comprehensive deductible really low.

 

Get a apartment on the first floor. Then you can put it inside your apartment.

 

+1 on the apt it really isnt that much of a hassle to move in/out

 

Get some type of chain and lock so you can lock it TO something. Most of the time
thieves just throw it in the back of a truck rather then ride it away. And cover it, Out of Sight
out of mind

 

rent out a storage place nearby they run like 40 bucks a month but **** its worth it plus its extra storage

 

Chain it to your leg or something.

 

Big ol' **** chain. Also, they make permanant bike covers that bolt to the ground and it makes a semi circle shape that your bike is under. Pretty neat, if you APT complex allows it.
