As above ive been thinking about this...not much but it was just a thought......

Its a 2 prong (pardon the pun)....youll see... for not getting your bike nicked....I never leave any of my bikes out where i cant see them....if i want to go somewhere on my bike and its out of my sight....then i dont take it and take the car....the only exception would be a bike night....im ok with that but i still lock it with the Roadlok on the front disk....not great but its a deterrant - waiting for payday and im going to get a litelok3 as i dont think its enough anymore.....

I always keep a toolkit with me which has grown a little bit and ive got a compact pump in there.....moving forward if ive got to leave it where i cant see it and ive got no visibility.....ill let the front tyre down....that would make it totally immobilized....

Which is where i get to the point of the post....i think the legal limit for a blade is something like 3 inches. Theres a ton of video of thieving scum getting caught in the act....

If you have some sort of blade id say no more than an inch which could fit between your knuckle so you could "punch" a tyre you could instantly deflate it....so you could a. incapactitate the scum`s bike putting them on foot or, incapacitate your own bike thus making it unmoveable....better to loose a tyre than a whole bike and, also put the fucking thieves on foot making them easier to catch...

Shoot me down....

Puncturing the tyre is choosing the wrong target but you already know this :)
 
Yeah but my theory was something that was literally just thick enough to breach a tyre wall...
Why not just remove the tyre valve core?
Thieves will need to keep spare cores handy, which they might eventually do if the idea becomes popular but as of right now, it's a better option than stabbing the tyre (but not better than puncturing the thieves).

Well, thats just the same as deflating the tyre.....tbh if deflating your front tyre...took of...then the scum might start carrying a compact pump...but, that takes time and is noisy....so it still slows them down...
 
Buy a bimota, don't be shy about people seeing it and you know thieves won't try to break in and steal it
Oh yeh, great advice - buy the most desirable bike in the universe 🤷‍♂️ silly boy 🤪







Noob thick.webp
 
Back on point just seen these....50 quid cheaper than a litelok and watch some bike shop try to get through one....looks tougher....


 
Don't be silly, the fatty one is you wobble chops. Know how I know ?

At 1:44 the fatty one goes all yorkshire when the barmans looking for payment, so fatty looks the other way 🤭
