Fighting bike theft: Big fuck-off alarmed disc locks, for you

[karla]

I'd like ones that go off easily, to attract attention (there's a grll for ya, too old to get it any other way )
LOL

[CB ARGH]

As long as the sensitivity isn't too hardcore I am sure it would be fine.

if you go to ride bike it'll beep so you remember it, if it gets knocked it'll go for 15seconds since the last movement... talking to the supplier they take a reasonable knock to set them off so they shouldn't go off when you go to disarm them.

I have one and they are pretty solid things but mine is sensitive as, just touch it and it goes off, I can't unlock it without it going off.

It also quite often just goes off for no reason and sometimes needs to be wacked/thrown/generally beaten senseless until it stops, tried replacing the battery's and no difference, if I was to get another I would probably get one without the alarm.

[motorbyclist]

they key won't disarm yours? sounds like it's faulty mate

Am waiting for check to clear.......

[slofox]

Forget it - finally read ALL entries - q answered......not sure I want one that you cannot shut off.......had a car alarm that used to go off every night about 3.00am.....neighbours were very "understanding"......

[Slyer]

You can shut it off, just remove the battery and it functions like a regular disc lock.

then why pay the extra for an alarmed one?

[Slyer]

You wouldn't, but it's a backup if it has problems or there is a special situation where you don't want it going off.

[motorbyclist]

yeah, it'll go for 15 seconds or until you unlock/disarm it with the key

saw Rie's one yesterday and while she ahd the battery out, it's emblazoned with warning stickers.

and i'm thinking if it's extra sensitive i'll finally be able to stop the cat putting holes in my seat!

Keep your hair on mate.

Take the risk, if it's too sesnsitive then flogg it off on trademe or take out the batteries. If it's perfect, then you've just saved twenty bucks (110 in stores, brought for 90) and you've got a shit hot dick lock that'll get the bastards away from your bike (hopefully).

Hmm.... Not sure i want one of those... sounds painful

[motorbyclist]

righto, better get those last minute orders in fast!

[motorbyclist]

ok kids, i've just had the shipment confirmed, will be picking up later this week.

this means it's a bit late for orders but i'll post up here if i find myself with any surplus (but they'll probably go on trademe pretty fast as i'm borrowing the cash to buy the bulk order)
