True - In Toronto downtown, locks don't do anything. Thieves come fully outfitted in hex key sets and pedal wrenches - and they steal everything - from rims to forks to pedals to front shocks, and chains (who steals chains??? - apparently the thief had a chain tool handy to break the chain).
Anything less than encasing the whole bike + lock + secure post in a steel case (like a bike locker) won't ensure that your bike will stay in tact.
- tlear 16y agoThe answer is to have a shitty bike with a good lock, been using a $200 beater for 4 years and it still got everything except the saddle got stolen once

- pmccool 16y ago>who steals chains??? - apparently the thief had a chain tool handy to break the chain). Reusable joining link? No tools required. As to the point of doing it, well, I had the QR skewers stolen off my bike once. Stealing a chain makes at least as much sense.
- buro9 16y agoThe solution to having components stolen is being made by a British company at the moment in co-operation with Royce: http://atomic22.co.uk/ http://atomic22.co.uk/ They have a Pitlock solution, but it works for everything from Saddle down to chain rings. With 1 key doing the whole bike.
