Wow i had no idea it was so easy, just use force, no tools required... intriguing... but locking rear wheel would be safer, ensure that theif can't lift off the front and cart it away on a lorry like a wheelbarrow.

that's how most crooks do it. another simpler method is to walk up to the bike by the side, hold the handlebar steady and give the front wheel a hard kick to break the steering lock. many people lost their bikes in jb like this.

oh...soo good of u to post the videos here.

 

now those crooks in s'pore will see it n try to steal my bike

Steering lock is pointless for a determined thief/ monkey.

Those monekys simply slide a pole thru the front wheel and another monkey push from behind. Up the van/ lorry.

It was done by a bunch of monkeys who stole bikes in SG, reported in the papers some months back. Or maybe last year.

I use something similar to the lock found in the 3rd vid but i still feel uneasy about leaving my bike for long periods wherever I am in jb. The crime situation is just appalling. All they need is a few men and 5 minutes to load up your bike onto their truck/van.

I dont really trust JB , and makes me boil is that, when we enter their country 4 holiday , do up our bikes, or simply shopping. We enter with fear, we holiday in fear and we live with fear.

 

Its like nothing is done to stop this bike theives.

 

BUT when individuals inhabiting in JB comes to singapore, its like a safe haven for them , their car wont be stolen nor will their bikes.

 

I mean the crime rate is just outrageous and out of COntrol!

[deckard]

then dun go there and let them starve

Hey anyone know where i can get one of those disc brake locks? How much is it roughly?

[barefoot]

seems that handlelocking is as good as useless.

 

how about looping those locks through the holes located at our disc brake?

Good idea. Get some industrial chains and padlocks from those heavy duty hardware shop also, bought before at serangoon north shops... whoaaa if wan use bolt cutters can cut until tmr, unless this theif got powersaw.

[vtec88]

handle lock also no use.....

 

how i know??

 

cos my RVF stolen in JB with handle lock.....

[Fritz]

Damn, he made it look like a piece of cake.

[jtzx]

i think come to bikes and bicycle it's still the same. Lets just lock our bikes to a lamp post with a chain will do.. this way they cant lift and steal it.

[Guest ChaoPussy]

nothing is ever safe

[Fritz]

Guys, do you think using a lock and attaching it to your front disc brake would be safe for normal enclosed MSCP? The lock looks something like this but bigger in size:

I was wondering if people forcefully push your bike, won't the disc brake lock or lock pad spoil the disc brake of your bike?

[dragonforce]

as long as they can steal your bike, they can still sell your other parts away.. spoiling your disc brake would only mean earning a couple of $$ less..
