Did I say it was an alternative to D locks or othersPsamathe wrote: ↑23 Dec 2023, 12:47pmPinhead wrote: ↑23 Dec 2023, 12:38pmPsamathe wrote: ↑23 Dec 2023, 10:58am I'm no expert but I thought thieves against D-locks often don't use angle grinders but levers, car jacks, hydraulics, etc.
My personal summary from various internet and personal sources is that best to use two different forms of lock (eg D-lock and cable lock) as the tools needed to break are different and many thieves only carry one type e.g. they'll be carrying the tool(s) to break open a D-lock or they'll be carrying the tool(s) to cut a cable/chain.

100% that is why I use two different D locks on my bikes and an alarm
Many different views as to whether an alarm is any sort of deterrent. Personally I use an alarm more to notify my somebody is messing with my cycle (e.g. when asleep in a tent). I would not be regarding an alarm as an anti-theft measure along the lines of locks.

Also 2 locks even the same, but different makes are better than one
