I just recieved this via UPS today. I found it different places for as much as $37.00. I got it for $25.00 after shipping here...

Cheap peace of mind if you ask me.
It comes with 3 keys (one key has a light) and a cool pouch that fits nicely under the seat to store the lock.
There is another disk lock at the bottom of the page for a little cheaper that I didn't see before I got mine.
My other LTD doesn't have drilled disks, it simply has a big padlock through a hole in the rear sprocket.

Of course, there are as many opinions on securing bikes as there are riders. The trick is to make your bike difficult enough that the thief will move on to an easier mark.
Just don't forget to unlock it before riding off. :sick: :whistle:

No kidding... it does come with a little orange sticker reminding you of that very point.
I'm shopping at the moment for a "remove before flight" pin and flag of some kind.

Bike thieves often travel together with a closed truck or trailer. Not unusual to start empty and pick up and "modify" "customize" "part out" "paint" bikes while enroute to events such as Bikeweek. Definitely not the warm and fuzzy type.
And undeterred by fork locks (most are easily defeated by one quick hard turn) or wheel locks -- with shovel held under wheel, slides almost easily as rolling, not to mention 30 seconds or less to simply remove front wheel alone cabled to anything (where forgot to bring along bolt-cutter). On paved surface, oil works wonders to just slide wheels along as if on ice (no shovel necessary). Believing fork lock or simple wheel lock is better than nothing, but not much better.
So what to do -- better to loop cable though frame component to steel post or frame of companion's bike (include full coverage helmet and through jacket sleeve where those items left with bike). Sad to return finding nothing but the wheel still chained to the post.
And a bike cover helps keep it out of sight, out of mind. Also might pose less invitation to an opportunity thief who knows the value of your sidecovers.
Alarm (pager style) may help -- with owner remaining close by if must be out of sight.
And on the road, make dining choices to keep bike in site.
At home - park in locked garage (or inside house).
(Yes -- am duly paranoid). Is this why some folks prefer Rat bikes? What else ?
