Rad Security

[rpwbike]

For my RadWagon4 I found this lock in my local bike shop - Texlock Eyelet. It's a mix of textile and cable lock that's supposedly cut resistant due to the mix of materials (as bolt cutters aren't really sharp and angle grinders get tangled up in the textile shell). Due to its ability to loop one end through the other, you get a lot of reach with it to wrap it around stationary items. It wraps nicely around the caboose so I can keep it on the bike at all times without having to take off the loop or having to put it in any bag.

As a bonus, it's also made in the city I live in - Leipzig, Germany. So it's really a local product, but from what I understand they also ship it internationally.

I have the large version with the mini U lock.

Apart from that, I always look the front wheel to the frame with a large Abus U lock with their security grade 15 (maximum) and also have an Abus 110cm folding lock. I don't use as much anymore since I got the Texlock as it's much more difficult with it to reach around stuff, but I always use it at home in our yard to attach the back wheel to my Texlock overnight. Even though we have a large gate, there's already a few bikes that were stolen and they also once took my RW seatpost+saddle, which sat me back 120 EUR or so to get a replacement. Now I secured the seatpost with the Pinheadlocks system.

Hi,I looked at the Tex-lock.. Not to be negative, but what is to prevent someone from just cutting the end loop(s) and taking off the lock?

 I use Kryptonite new york and Abus granite 500x. I also have a disc brake lock with an alarm which I don't seem to use that much.
