Has anyone read this year's Cycling Plus lock test? What were the results?

This thread, New York Tough Chain Locks, is over two years old, but you might find it interesting. Whatever bike lock you get, make sure it has a Sold Secure gold rating. The ART rating is also worth checking out. I don't think I've ever seen a lock with a five-star rating (the maximum) from ART, and most of the high-end bicycle locks only get three stars. The only four-star locks I've noticed seem to be marketed towards motorcycles because they are so big, heavy, and expensive.

I use a New York U-lock through the rear wheel and a mini evolution on the front wheel when I feel I need to really secure my bike. You could look into getting some locking skewers for your front wheel. I think a four foot chain would be enough for both wheels on most bikes, but I don't know about three feet. My Jamis Sputnik could probably manage with a three foot chain, but my touring bike might not be able to. Measure it with a vinyl tape measure to find out.
