£80 is a few bob, but they are rather fitting with that 'street fighter' look.

For round the bed posts? Not these ones, there are others for that.

Maybe... want to come and lock me up then?

Locking your bike up, aimed at push bikes, but I don't see why they won't work for motorbikes....

Then you need to pop down to Ann-Summer, or just come to Soho and let my show you around, I'll show you something that will make you change your mind. ;-)

The chain links between the cuff's looks a little vulnerable.

Remember, you're average push-bike theiving scum won't have many decent tools. A motorbike* thieving scumbag generally will.

*This does not include Scooters.

Well they seem to have all the same rates you get with all the other stuff that sold as bike locks, so I don't see how they could be any worse. Though it depends on what the links are made off to see how easy they would be to cut.

These would fall into the category of most chains: i.e. stop oppertunist thefts but not a determined prepared thief. Ergo they are as good as any disc lock and normal chain. And I think they are rather funny :lol:

I think your general bicycle-nicking miscreant with a set of 7.99 bolt croppers would have no problem getting through those.

a set of 7.99 bolt croppers

where can buy?

[yorkie_chris]

Just picked a figure out of thin air there tbh.

15 quid, probably cheaper down the market or whatever.

Though with the links being fixed in the horizontal plane you could probably even stick a bar through one "cuff" and shear the pins off.

As others have said they're a deterrent but not much more.

Scouse master key ;)

As far as I remember, your last disc lock took all of a short sharp knock on the front fork (I'll let everyone guess how this happened :lol:) and I was able to simply remove it from the disk.
