Security Locks

[Guest]

Any experience with bike locks? Don;t really want to carry around a 15 pounb chain with a 25 pound lock (even though I'm sure they're very secure), but have been considering rotor locks to add security to my handlebar lock. Considering brands by On Guard, Kryptonite, etc. Any suggestions? Here's some samples:

You've gotta have drilled rotors, right??

Yeah, those look really great. I don't have any experience with them, but you know there's gotta be folks here that should have some good comments. It's something that I've been interested it as well.

I've also seen people just use a good padlock that fits... WITH the warning that you gotta remember it before rolling the bike or, you could bend, or twist, some parts that would rather not

I tied a length of bright ribbon on my padlock. The ribbon is long enough to each up to choke knob or throttle... That way I won't forget about the lock.

You don't need drilled rotors for a disk lock. I got mine new off of Ebay for about $10. I recommend them. Just remeber to take it off before you try to ride away!

you know, i just throw my OnGuard Bulldog U-lock around the Comstar spokes, and rest assured that anyone who goes through the trouble to get the bugger off deserves my GS.

of course, if my bike was as pretty as some of the GSs on here, then i would probably get a little more serious about security
