Bike NOT stolen in London

Bicycle inner tube sometimes does the trick. Free from your local bicycle repair shop, where they usually have a bunch hanging around from punctures they have mended.

Worked well on my 11mm Abus chain (typical 1.95 mountain bike tube). I didn't enjoy threading it on. Not sure what tube would fit a big Almax chain?
 
Spent the day in London yesterday, saw parts 1&2 of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Palace Theatre... AWESOME!!! Anyway I decided to go on the bike and having heard about all the bike theft in London I was bricking it, at least 3x on here have been taken within a 10 mile radius.

So I went armed to the teeth with security. I had the Pragmasis anti pinch pin through the rear hub with the 1.5m Almax immobiliser 3 around a sign post with the Squire lock. On the front I had the Xena disc lock and Oxford boss disc lock with a cable though front wheel and round a bollard. I obviously had the steering lock on, panniers locked and Nav5 out but I also covered it up.

And there she sat all day long!









Not a stick of butter in sight. And a very happy ending, even if it did take me an extra 15mins to make secure.

I was in Greenwich last night (Sunday) and some scroat tried to get the front disc lock off my bike and failed so I returned to my bike intact but sadly the front disc has been damaged. so bmws discs are not as strong as the lock I used
