Greetings fellow riders.

This might be a redundant topic in regarding to locks or anti-theft, but I am here new to the forums to educate others as well of myself in pursuit of the best possible type of lock for my beloved bike that is priceless in the blood pumping through my veins each time I ride it. I have lost my beloved black matt KHS & KHS road bike in between three months that has happened. The theft occurred at my neighborhood right outside my yard, and the other at the front place of my work where I lock it up at the front gates where cars come in and out.

Now, after educating myself with types of chains & locks, turns out master lock is no more being used within the family or friends, including the biggest, thickest, toughest chain purchased at home depot. Yes, all this is a learning experience. Being at a low budget job & college in mind, I've decided "why buy another bike, when I can make the damn thing myself ? ".

It's a run down Trek 7000. Yes, not pretty'n all but with the right parts I have bought and the right place to go to gear it up (no labor cost at all) this beloved bike is starting to grow on me now. I plan to have a friend powder paint it, which is a lot durable and doesn't chip off compared to new bikes of their standard paint job.

Oh yeah, parts replaced consist the following:

Aluminum chrome pedals, road bike shift handles, gel seat, hybrid tires, and free reflectors. It's not much, but it's a start. Turning this bike from a 25$ bike into something beautiful.







In any case, to save anyone from reading above, I am on a persistent quest in finding the best lock for a bike to desist and prevent theft. It's been on the high rise and gradually increasing here in the area of Skokie/Chicago. I plan on buying to locks: one to lock on a bike rack, and the other to lock both the wheels/frame.

Is this a good type of lock? Your replies and opinions are greatly valued.
