Litelok Security

Post by Felix »

Anyone bought these and more important had a theft attempt?

Self promoting videos are all very well but they are hardly going to say we are shit.

I have a friend with a Litelock, which apparently, you can lock without the key. He travelled away from home and did just that, locked it and didn't have the key. He called a locksmith who, with the right tools, took less than a minute to free his bike.

Locks and chains buy time, and that's all. The better the product the more time it's going to take to break it and I think buying Litelok is going to get you a few more seconds.

I use two disc locks, ABUS Granit Power and an Oxford Alpha. I cannot say if they work as I've not had an attempted theft. I also have a Monimoto 9 tracker which will alert me as soon as the bike is stood up.

More than a few seconds if this self promo video is true

A good lock, like Litelok, is only part of the equation.
Ask yourself, how desirable to thieves is my bike? Where am I parking it? For how long? As well as how securely locked is it.

An attractive enough bike left in a dodgy enough area for long enough WILL be stolen, no matter how securely locked.

Professional thieves will have your bike regardless of what you do. I doubt they would want an 06 Fazer but i want dont want the little balaclava bastards nicking my bike while visiting the city. They only nick them to rag round the fields till the fuel runs out. You get it back trashed of lucky or burnt out if unlucky.

I'm not so sure. My 08 Caponord daily - not exactly desirable, scuffed and scarred - was stolen from the West End despite having an Abus u-lock on it, the thieves cut the wheel spokes. :(
