your worried about scratching your bike? are you going to ride it lol

Till · April 10th, 2008, 05:52 PM

yeah man but I dont want to put scratches on it unless I have to, I wanted this thing to look halfway decent and last for the next 5 years

you could put pipe foam around it or just put it in you back pack untill you need to lock it up, that is what i do.

but you also could have gotten a lot better lock

i had the same lock in the same place, i just ended up takin it off and now i keep it in my camelback... when i ride trails, it falls off, so that was my solution. it kind of gets in the way on the side there too, i was bumping my knee on it

yours isn't that bad because it is hard to cut but you can only keep 1 part of the bike locked to tact you locking it to. meaning if you lock it to the frame someone can take every thing but your frame.

i don't have a link but the one i have is a cord type. it is 3/4" . steel cable warped in 1/8" carbon fiber and the a thin layer of plastic to keep it nice a smooth.
then i run it through my frame, handle bars, and front wheel. meaning the only thing you could really take is my seat and back wheel. and the back wheel takes me about 10 minuets to tack off knowing what i am doing.
