    What color is best for deterrence in bike locks

    Link works fine. Minimum length is 10 feet so I will have to call them. Also, does not look like it has a loop end. I did find this in stainless steel. Your thoughts? https://www.mcmaster.com/products/wire-rope/diameter~3-8/material~stainless-steel/eye-style~crimped/

    What color is best for deterrence in bike locks

    This cable might be the sleeper product to get. Would the 3/8" work close enough as I need it to roll up smaller than yours does? On looking more closely, the 3/8" is steel while yours is stainless steel. Does that matter?

    What color is best for deterrence in bike locks

    *I have watched many of his videos. He has often said that competent lock pickers do not often go for bikes, but more lucrative opportunities like cars and homes. I do believe he was very impressed with the Hiplok D1000 and the Litelok X3 but they are $300.00 locks. Maybe next year ...

    What color is best for deterrence in bike locks

    Having grown up in the New York area, I am very aware of what can happen if one does not plan for "unusual events." I now live in a "resort area" that can have its own issues, so my inclination is to be guarded about expensive toys ...

    What color is best for deterrence in bike locks

    No worries about the comments. I have actually continued my research for another lock and am now looking at the Hiplok DXC (the one with the Diamond certification)and will continue looking for a more angle grinder resistant one to pair with it.

    Fair comment, but I am also quite curious what others may opine as well.

    What color is best for deterrence in bike locks

    I am looking at purchasing the Litelok Core Plus and I have a choice of orange or black. The orange really stands out and I am not sure that will be seen as a challenge to the thief or a deterrence. Any thoughts?

    Priority E Coast

    Electric Bike Company offers all their models as a single speed with 7 speed as an option. They also just received UL approval for their bike line. I now have 2 Model Rs that I am very happy with. That is not to infer in any way that Priority is still not a great brand as all I read is good...

    Priority E Coast

    At the very least, this may put to rest the reason some posters felt for Priority not having a throttle on the Current.

    XNITO Old School Indiegogo Class 3 Ebike Helmet Review

    I ordered 2 of these and one has arrived. Very comfortable and looks great. Waiting for my 2 EBC Model Rs to arrive at the end of the week so we can use them. The other one is suppose to arrive today.

    Priority E Coast

    This is the one I talked about in the past. It is a single speed and it should be available sometime soon on Costco I believe. I decided to go with the EBC Model R instead even though it does not have that nice belt drive. Waiting until they put the Enviolo on this one ...

    Purchased an Evelo

    The front fork on the one SL that we had shipped was not welded properly. They said they would send a replacement front fork but my wife wanted to try another brand. Once again, they paid for the return and treated us like "family." It was hard to go, but we did. We received a full refund...
