Watch this before even thinking about buying a chain lock.... quite scary actually.

[WyredHardware]

ouch.. good thing i don't go for a nice shopping run when I am out. Bust the lock and hoist the bike into the back of a truck and drive off... 2 mins total?

[Drache]

All this really does is reenforce what we already know; if someone wants to steal your bike, they are going to get it.

[WyredHardware]

and the sad thing is... they have to use minimal effort to get it

[JBLUE]

wowwwwwwwww I have one of locks in the clip

Minimal effort, but how hard is it to hide a chain cutter that size? With a smaller size chain cutter, which is MUCH easier to conceal, it won't be nearly as easy. They had leverage with that monster. At a mall or some other place, they're going to have to cover the guy doing the cutting, and that will draw attention as well.

I'm insured, come get it.

I'm insured, come get it.

The bike actually blue books for more than I paid, so they can have it if they want it that bad.

Yup...

I'll say this:
The Brits take this kind of thing very seriously. I have yet to see a test like this on the US while the Brit mags do them all the time.

Anyone what to buy a Magnum D lock? He opened it with a pen

[Cheriff]

I found myself flexing when they bounced down on the cutter. Anyone else??

I'm with you, I was waiting for one of them to smash thier fists into the ground.

i wonder how long it would take an 18 or 24 volt cordless angle grinder with a diamond blade ($12 blade) to go thru the chain. i know with a corded angle grinder and a cheap metal cutting blade it took me less than a minute to cut one side of a heavy duty chain link, and wedge the cut open enough to slip off the next link

[Erki]

Only problem with angle grinder is its kinda loud and might draw attention. Just a thought. Of course some crooks don't have all their lights on upstairs.
