I once had a lock through my back wheel, one through my saddle, one through my front wheel and one around the frame... and the thieves stole my rear axle. When I rode the bike away the rear wheel fell out. Anyone know how to lock a rear axle?
@rosan969 why do you think it's rubbish? I plan on getting a bike and if you know a better way to lock your bike please tell me. It's better that I learn now. :)
@tonowicz1 It is used to prevent someone from stealing your front wheel. Mostly to avoid a crime of opportunity, not really to stop the theft of the bike (that is the d-locks job).
I see so many of those little cables lying around near bike stands... they're ridiculously easy to cut through. The correct way of locking is to get a second strong lock for your front wheel.
@mrolegkorol Older ones yes. Lock makers have made better models now. U locks can still be broken with a car jack, but it's not quite as inconspicuous as the old Bic method.
Nore81 was correct. Regardless of the way the D-lock is located, the cable lock is dependent on it. Also, the cable is useless, ad it is easy to snip. Proper way is to have a thick chain with its own lock in order to attach the front wheel and frame to the bike rack. Bad advice.
Thanks for your comments, we like feedback! Its not rubbish, we have done a lot of work in locking bikes. Because of the way the D-Lock is located on the bike, a thief cannot pop it off. It is extremely difficult to remove the lock. If the U-Lock was around the frame, you would be correct.
It is always better to have two locks, but make sure they are used correctly!
This is a rubish way of locking your bike, the thief still oly needs to get past one lock. ideally you need two seperate diffrent locks like a D-Lock and a chain. because thiefs dont carry multiple tools usually jus one tool. Once he pops the D-lock hes got the whole bike?

What' the point of that cable lock? As soon as you've broken the D-lock it simply falls off.

@tonowicz1 prevents the thief from taking the front wheel using a wrench/quickrelease
