That fact was what convinced me to use Pitlocks in addition to an Abus
mini-U. I figured it would be difficult to get the wheels off and more
difficult to sell a bike that had a locked wheel set.

I remember when a long lock thread came up earlier, someone pointed out
that, with a cordless electric cut off grinder, the difference between a
cheap lock and a good lock was the difference between 30 seconds to cut
through the lock vs. 60 seconds.

I recently put bbs into my seatpost and stem binder bolts' heads after
reading this suggestion here. I used small dabs of Shoe Goo, fearing wax
would look messy and be harder to control. (This is the 2003 Riv, which I
want to look nice.) The results do look rather nice. It will require a bit
more
I use Abus Bordo or Abus San Francisco U-Lock.

Along the lines of discussion on bike theft and prevention has anyone found an
electronic tracker product that you are using in case the bike is stolen?
With the abundance of bikes / scooters for rent
the companies supplying these must have some moderately priced tracker to keep
tabs
The Portland problem is so real, and the Spring Water Corridor can be super
sketchy. I almost got jumped there once. My brother and I parked our
bikes by the MODA Center for a few hours one evening. We knew it was
sketchy. We brought every lock we had and had our wheels, frames, seats,
all
The old barrel key locks are easily defeated with the barrel of a Bic pen.
Fortunately, you don't see the pens that were ideally suited for that much
anymore & really who even uses pens very much nowadays anyway? So in reality
these locks are probably safer than they were 20 years ago.

Patrick,
I have created an image in my mind of Towing chain securing your bike at
Sprouts, but I would love a photo that also captures the tube covering the
chain.
Thanks,

I like the Abus Bordo Granit folding locks myself.

Almost the same as Shoji - pitlocks on wheels and seat post - but with a
black and yellow "Fuhgeddaboutit" Kryptonite lock. Here in NYC it can be a
challenge to find something small enough to work with the frame or back
wheel and the Krypto Mini. I also put a cover over the saddle.

I made a lock from about 3' of towing chain from the hardware store, held
by an Abus padlock. I leave this attached to the bike rack at a local
Sprout's some 5-6 miles away. It's a reasonably cheap and I suspect and
certainly hope reasonably secure system.
When the clerk cut my length of chain,
I just found out the Kryptonite lock with a barrel key is easy for thieves
as of late.
What locks do you like and why?
