I must agree that looks done up right! I did not know there were locking rings for a headset. Thanks for the pics

I use both an Abus Granit-X (u lock) and a Fahgettaboutit Chain. The chain is a 12lb monster though, and you could do nicely combining the Abus Bordo with a good U-Lock. Even that cable in the original post is ok alongside a good U-lock.

I have a question. Does anyone make a sleeve for locks of the material they make chainsaw pants from. The pants that stop the chain immediately. How effective would that be against grinders and saws?
I would like this to be my official claim to the idea if no one else has done it.
If I was in a high they area I would consider the atomic 22 stuff it kicks nice, but it could add up fast. I am in a low theft area and am happy with Pinhead's wheels skewers and a U lock through the rear triangle

I sell CP... The way it works might actually translate. Especially if the thief didnt know, which I doubt they would. CP stopping material works by pulling out long threads and then stopping the sprocket. The question is would the grinder catch the threads or not. Potential problems include the fact that the material must be lofted and loose to work with a saw, would the thief just push it aside not even knowing what it was? If you taped it down to the u-lock and then ground into it would the compression from the tape stop it from working?
I am super curious! I will be tearing up a pair of chaps soon to find out!

That like Chain Mail? I could have used them on my brief Pre-commercial Thinning Forest job in the 70's ( thigh scars to show for not having any. )

One of many solutions to defeat a grinder though the way they have done it doesn't seems to be the best way to do it.

He dropped the ball with an improperly advertised and structured kick starter campaign.

Too bad. I am going to look into it we have mad chainsaw chaps laying around.

O.k I noticed this thread is old but still replaying. I know it is a pain to carry a ulock + cable but so far I find that to be very effective when looking the bike make sure you lock the wheels to the frame of the bike then the bike to a post or bike rack look the pictures

You got reimbursed for replacement value? How much? How long did it take?
