disc locks

[Taz]

i have found in FAL balcatta a lock with a swipe card that has a coated wire rope that is meant for push bikes.

it makes and excellent disc lock and the "rope" is long enough to reach the handle bars and wrap around.


the price is a massive $1.50 they are clearing them... were $19.00

if anyone interested will see if they have some left tomorrow

[Gordo]

Craig at such an inflated price I'll could use 4 of them if your going there...

[Taz]

no probs i will buy some maybe cause they have some pretty colours on them gonzo might use one

[Gordo]

Thanks Craig,

The only problem with Gonzo using one regardless of colour is the "effort factor" !!! It would mean he had to unlock his seat reach in and remove the lock then bend down and attach it then replace his seat and walk away only to have to do all this again on returning to the bike.....

Way too much hard work for a 17year old :roll:

But I will try and preach some sence into him :twisted:

P.S. I can square you up tonight at the Brass Monkey for the locks.

If you don't mind grabbing an extra 2 today I can fix up tonight as well.

At a huge $1.50 they'll be good just to have as something to secure the helmets to the bike.

[Taz]

i will bring one along tonight .

Yes I know which one you guys are talking about.

The only problems with them is that if you lose ur card...be prepare to get the bolt cutters.

And i think the cards are pretty easy to break if you dont treat them with care, then again i think you get 2 cards.

[Taz]

i have had some of these locks for over eight months and not broken the cards.

you get 2 cards. small and big. my son has had his in his wallett for eight months and it is not broken



if you loose your key your stuffed

[dnd]

Im sure the keys are hard to make....get old plastic card and punch the some holes in correct position.

But they are cool locks anyway...too bad they are floucesent *spelling* in colour.

[Taz]

the ones i have are black with the only color being on the face plate and the card is fluro.


these were meant for kids bikes not your average $15,000 mean machine but then some of those colours are a little bit suss

[mastrmage]

I'd be interested in a few if you have spares or you're going back there!

Nice find Craig.

Craid showed to me last night and they are pretty good for the price.

You could cut thru them with a heavy pair of wire cutters I would think but it would sure stop the oportunist from just takinga shot at nickn it without any gear.

Lets face it, as was shown to me a couple of months ago, if they want it, they will take it no matter the security.
