Slightly tangential: can anyone else confirm or refute the value of hardware-store towing chain plus top end, security-designed padlock as a reasonably cheap and secure alternative to U locks and cables? I've got two locks made from this chain which had to be cut on a grinding wheel or (15+ minutes) with a hacksaw as the hw store said that bolt cutters don't work. It's heavy and you have to get the length right -- short enough to avoid needless slack, long enough to get around tire and down tube as well as post -- but, with top end lock, costs under $30. I slip a length of mountain bike tube over the chain to protect things. The chain (and a good padlock) is very heavy, so I leave them at common destinations: I have one at church and one at a local grocery store which is too crowded for me to wheel my bike through.
It's nice to have locks where you need them without having to remember to transfer the Kryptonite to the right bag. Oh, and where can I pick up an easy to use wheel lock, the kind that bolts to, say, the fork and simply slides a rod through the wheel, for my trike? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
