This is probably the London equivalent of “which oil to buy” so I’m aware I might be just starting an argument
I want an alarmed disk lock. I’ve already got a decent lock on my sprocket, so this’ll be on the front disks and I’m much more interested in it making a load of noise (and so waking my housemate up) than being particularly strong, since my rotors are probably blot-croppable.
What’s best? I particularly want:
decent battery life
it to not go off just because someone’s looked at it funny
(more importantly) it to reliably go off if I sit on the bike with it still attached
Keyless locking would be good
Ideally I’d be able to lock it without arming the alarm, too.
And, as I say, I’m really not that concerned about it being technically strong.
I had a Xena zz6 around 80£. Locked through the vent holes in the disk. Lock mechanism busted after 15 months. So binned it. Battery went after about 12 months.
