Hi,

I've got a "Holdsworth Derwent" here (Bike), which mercifully DIDN@T get nicked in a recent break in......

Its been living in my lounge since the cheeky ******* paid a visit but it'll have to go back in the garage at some point.

This was a present off my brother....there is no way I could afford a bike like this (I know its not totally the latest thing...but I like it), so don't want to loose it.

Is there a chain (or anything else ) that will (probably!) put any future visitors off?

(Needless to say nothings guarenteed!)

What you need is a lock and chain that is rated "gold" by Sold Secure.

Halfords do one for around £30 - a D lock.

However, you will also need a secure anchor to lock the bike to.

I would get a motorbike anchor that is concreted into the ground.

Then of course there's the usual land mines, barbed wire, machine gun nests, watch towers with search light etc.
 
just dont get owt with a barrel lock.....

youtube 'kryptonite' to see why.
 
There was an issue with Kryptonite locks in that they could be opened with a biro. However, this is not true of all locks of that type
 
Another helpful gent on pnk fish has suggested taking the back wheel off....putting the rest in the garage and keeping the back wheel in the house; thus rendering the vulnerable bit worthless (compartively).

Would you concur?

Thats what Ive done......+ bike lock.

This is a great answer.

I would also get secondary locks to atach ''removable bits'' like saddles and wheels. They can be snipped of course, but it will stop the thief who can't take your bike making off with (for example) a quick-release saddle and seatpost - a job of a few seconds.
