This is a good thread -- On my Quickbeam, I use a locker on my front and rear wheel, which gives me a bit more piece of mind -- and is pretty bomb proof. Additionally, I use a Kryptonite U-lock between rear wheel and frame. I live in DC and this has been a pretty good solution.
For my Roadini, I rarely leave that outside unwatched, as it's my "road" bike (whatever that means) -- I uses an Abus Bordo LIte 60cm -- it is light and fits well for easy locking (if I run in to get coffee or whatever). - rg in DC On Wed, May 27, 2020 at 2:00 PM Shoji Takahashi <shoji.takaha...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Vincent, > I have Abus Bordo and Kryptonite U (short and regular-- I can't remember > the particular model names). > > I prefer the Kryptonite U locks, as they are much easier and faster to > lock up a bicycle.
