Does anyone know if an Oxford 16mm big
 
Oxford 16mm Big Boss Disc Lock will actually fit onto a 660Z disc??

Or anything else that's supposed to be cropper proof!!!

Yes, I'm expecting trouble

It's a truly cwap world when you have to up the game on bike security. As for the 16mm lock, I would expect those things to cost ����s so I would ask the bike shop to see if it actually fits yours disc on the bike outside their shop window. If they won't do it, they don't get the sale. Or if you're short cutting and buying off the web, then I'd still visit a shop, as above.

It wont stop the 'skateboard' short cut in to the back of a van though. Get a chain and lock it to a tall object. (which won't stop 'ice-spray' either). It's all about 'layering' obvious deterrents

if you're expecting trouble of that kind , maybe source a good gps tracker too to fit o the bike well hidden somewhere?

yeah i was looking at ww.gpstrackerfitting.co.uk

costs a little more but at least you it'll work when you need it to!

Anyone purchased one from them, or other recommendations

I'm in South London and bike theft is a problem - can only park on the street outside my house - nothing to anchor to - six times I've had to get the Police involved, one really nice Super Ten and KMX200 never came back!

Those super size bolt croppers will get through pretty much anything in seconds

So it's belt and braces!!

Don't need a set of croppers, an allen key undoes the disc and the bike can be wheeled away, as the lock rotates as far as the caliper and the wheel then turns reasonably freely if the disc isn't too corroded to the hub.
Bike thieves generally come as more than one person and can lift the front end of a bike easily and wheel it away whether you have a lock on it or not I'm afraid.
The scrotes that nick bikes for their own use prefer twin disc setups because they can secure the disc with the lock attached and still have a brake to play with as the other disc is still attached to the hub.

if you've had 2 bike nicked allready, i wouldn't leave a 3rd one outside, even if you can attache it to a fixed object.
i'd ride an old worthless bike that's not worth stealing.
