Any recommendations on disc locks?
Anyone got up to date knowledge on what is a good disc lock at the moment that isn’t absolutely huge? This for when I’m out and about and don’t want to carry a chain. Thanks.

Re: Any recommendations on disc locks?
Here's a disc lock that's not cheap but well worth considering: https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/r ... 077-review
And here's the first of the new generation of angle-grinder-resistant U-locks: https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/r ... stant-lock
Similarly, Litelock has several angle-grinder-resistant locks: https://www.litelok.com/pages/litelok-x-range
The range includes the Litelock X3, which Bennetts reviewed: https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/r ... ock-review
However, none of them are cheap options!

Re: Any recommendations on disc locks?
I've got three including a top of the range Abus one, but TBH haven't used that one for years- this is the one I carry and use these days
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-Quartz- ... ock&sr=8-5
I originally bought it before a Euro tour, as I wanted something audible for when the bike was parked in hotel car parks.
I'm reasonably sure that for somebody tooled up it would be relatively easily breakable, but the alarm really works well and it's a decent deterrent IMO, which is what I want it to be- I have a stretchy cord thing running to the front brake lever so I don't forget to take it off before pulling away

The first Bennetts article mentions the Pragmasis Roundlock https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/r ... ock-review, which I bought together with their 16mm chain to use at home. It does double as a disc lock, and is very compact, as well as - apparently - secure, but it isn't alarmed.

Increasingly, I find Bennetts’ reviews more thorough and, therefore, useful than Ride magazine.

Re: Any recommendations on disc locks?
Good spot. Thanks. Have ordered that.
Thanks for all the recommendations. Decided that I didn’t want one with an alarm and this was about in the right budget and with good reviews so we’ll see how it goes.
