I live in a high bike-theft city, so choosing an extra sturdy rack, checking it that it's in good shape, making sure to lock to the right part of the rack, using two locks (and going around at least one wheel) is just part of normal lock-up. I also always try to lock up in front of a cafe or somewhere there'll be an idle audience (and potential that me, the owner, is keeping an eye) versus somewhere secluded where there are less witnesses. Also, ensuring said place will be open until I get back to my bike is key.
I cannot bring myself to lock up the Hillborne out of sight for any length of time, but I do use the Clem as a lockup bike as long as it's not a particularly rough area. I use my old Raleigh Twenty for parking in bad areas of town or for extended periods. I'm a fan of using a Krytonite U-lock from top tube or down tube to rack, and then a Abus link lock around the seat tube, rear wheel, and bike rack. I also have Pin Head wheel locks as well as little press-in inserts in my seat and stem bolts (forget the brand) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
