Lidl next Monday.
 

I have no idea of the quality but Lidl are selling bike stuff next Monday (20th March). Might be worth a look:

A disk lock for £2.99! Bet thats made of high grade toughened steel...! :lol:

Now lets not forget, a lock and chain for £8.99 may not be as tough as one from abus for £100... But 10 of them'd put anyone off, whether they had the keys or not! :lol:

I for one will be down there picking some odds and sods up.

the handfree speaker set looks nice for 5 £

I got some of this stuff last time round. The touring maps are fantastic and just the right size to fold and put in the top of a tank bag with a transparent top pocket.

TBH the £8.99 one will be more or less as protective as £100 spent on an Abus, or £150 on an Oxford, Datatool etc... They just about all cut with boltcutters in a matter of seconds, more or less silently, so spending more's a waste of money- anyone stealing your bike will have good cutters anyway, and there's only 2 bike chains on the market that are hand-cropper proof (Almax Series 3 and the new 16mm English Chain Co)

the disk locks are a cheap visual.

Agreed, but as said I had this wonderful idea of having my bike connected to about 20 home made ground anchors.... and £9 chans as it would be so cheap to do... Then realised I'd never bother using the bike :lol:

:D brilliant... I'm poor and i need something to provide a deterrant before i can afford something more hardcore. :oops:

I bought an £8.99 chain from Lidl a couple of years ago. It is not
very thick but has the advantage that if fits under the seat so I
sometimes use it when I go out on the bike (as opposed to going to
work where I have a permanently based heavier chain).

I don't believe that expensive chains are guaranteed to be better.
Bought a serious-looking chain from Fowlers 3 years ago, paying
around £35. Several months later the padlock (came with the chain)
broke. Was too lazy to go back to Fowlers for a refund and bought a
Yale weatherproof lock from B&Q which has served me well since.
