Default Re: Bike Security

Quick update guys, I have ended up buying the litelok X1 (https://www.litelok.com/en-au/products/litelok-x1).
Cost was $324.00 incl post and the bike holder for it. Looking at a few videos it takes at least several minutes of CORDED angle grinding and at least a couple discs to cut through. Although not completely angle grinder proof i think this is all i'm looking for really. Couples (throupled?) with my Other Kryptonite lock for the front wheel, as well as a brake disc lock i think that has most of my bases covered. If they can defeat all of those with grinding etc where i park my bike without getting caught ill be suprised.

Impressive on video, it looks as though the internal reinforcement acts like a grinding wheel dresser in rapidly reducing a cutting disc’s diameter. Chuckled at the reviewer (Bike Social) calling out LPL for not returning his messages.

For a parking control job once I fitted permanent bollards dry-packed with 10mm aggregate - similar methodology; you’re constantly wearing the cutting wheel down with a replenishing supply of abrasive.

Its definately time for the other big manufacturers such as Kryptonite / ABUS etc to up their game. IM sure over the coming year we will see better materials etc. (Along with it probably better angle grinding discs) HAHA!

Probably easier and quicker to take the front wheel off

What about a printed vinyl seat cover that looked like poop smears?
