I didn't read it properly, I thought that was the Abus.
Cafe Lock recommendations ?

I'm using one of those Litelok wearables atm. It is wearable, fairly light, and flawed as a design but the visual deterent element is working thus far. But you'd look a bit daft wearing it on a Sunday Club run.
That said @User10571 told me about TiGr and showed me his, and he knows his shoot, and I trust his judgement. One is now on the shopping list.

May I ask, whats TiGr?

Either
TIGR, an abbreviation for Trst, Istra, Gorica and Reka, full name Revolutionary Organization of the Julian March T.I.G.R., was a militant anti-fascist and insurgent organization established as a response ..
Or perhaps https://www.tigrlock.com/
Ah, I saw a mini TiGr in the wild and wondered what it was.

Did it have a bike attached to it?
As a cafe lock praps, not as it's shown used in their vid - bike put in a street stand, chap walks away to enjoy his day. But perhaps not afternoon.

Had my Abus for three years no problems at all.
Had your bike for three years too though?

If you value keeping your bike never ever use a cable lock of any sort. I see so many of them cut in Cambridge. It takes thieves less than a second if that to cut through them. D-lock every time and even then there are D-locks and there are D-locks.

Agree with you crankarm. I have a rather expensive cable lock but still don't trust it. I think any cable lock screams "snip me" to a potential thief. I think even the cheapest D lock is preferable. Cable locks are ok for cafe locks though if the bike is in sight.

Which is, after all, what this thread is about.
Anyone arguing that you wouldn't leave your bike unattended, out of sight, secured with only a cafe lock is rather missing the point.
