TOMTRIALS123 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 My uncle built a shed and lined the walls with steel and mounting bolts You could also get a BikeShepherd Sticker which u put on your frame. If someone tries to take it off, it releases a GPS signal (@ least that's how I think it works). Theyre around £15 Really just try and make it look as hard as possible to take your bike. If a thief thinks it'll be too much hassle, he'll leave it. So strap almost every part of it down, put a cover on it, maybe a few chains. And if that doesn't work get a pike with the head of the last thief who stole from u stuck atop of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Your bike is only as secure as the building it's in and the object it's chained to, also the chain itself needs to be secure. If someone wants your bike they will take it, no bike locks will withstand attacks from a good set of bolt croppers and there isn't much you can do to stop them. The only security chain I know of that is impervious to attack from anything but an angle grinder is an almax but then you're looking at over 200 quid for a chain, lock and ground anchor - how much do you value your bike? All of mine are kept in a walk in cupboard in my house which is about the safest place they can be, I wouldn't keep them in a shed unless there was a very substantial locked steel cage to keep them in.

dezmtber Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Make a good ground anchor, use good quality steel chain and a lock designed to make it hard to cut with bolt cutters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 A chain to a wall anchor on my normal bikes and a wall anchor+floor anchor on my orange as well as a D-lock to the metal pipe running up the garage wall. It's not thief proof but it does look intimidating. There's 4 padlocks on the garage door too haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericbenjaminjr Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'm dreaming up a solution using a tiny gps tracker modified for induction charging as a second line of security. It would only work if the down tube is large enough and has access through the head tube. Its kinda geeky I know, and maybe impractical since you have to make sure you're bike is "charged" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
