Are brake disc locks worth it?
Are brake disc locks worth it? I have heard a couple of times that bikes have still been stolen with brake locks on them. So is it even worth buying? If not what is the best solution? other than an armed gaurd

I have one on my bike and last time thieves hit my apts they took an R1, got as far as cutting the wires on another R1, but left my bike tucked in under the cover w/the disc lock peeking out in the front

No matter what you do, if they want the bike bad enough, they'll get it. But, one more obstacle makes it that much harder and takes that much more time that someone could hopefully notice something.

Anything that makes your bike more difficult to steal will make a thief look for an easier target. So to answer your question, yes, they are worth it IMO.
However, as posted above, if they really want it, they'll get it, regardless of how it's secured. |

buy a rino and chain it to your bike. i promise no one will even look at it they will be so scared.
but on that note when my bike was stolen the wheel was locked and all they did was lay the bike over on a blanket and 4 peeps picked it up and slid it into a truck. fast and easy. |

+1 if they realy want it they are going to take it, but anything you put on there to make it more difficult is worth it.

I'd say anything that will make a thief think twice before stealing your bike is better than nothing but there is no real guarantee with anything. I have two of them a kryptonite lock for the rear and chain but it's hard to find a place to use the chain on because of the length. The other one is a Xena one with alarm for the front. I think a combination of things will help more than just using disc locks. If you can have that and lojack or theft insurance you've done what you could.
