There is something with the plastic that prevents you from getting the power down to the wire. If you keep at it, you'll succeed eventually, of course, but no thief will do that out in the open to get a bike of this (monetary) value. Try a 4 inch angle grinder with a 1mm cut-off wheel. You can cut a cable about as fast as you can push the grinder. But I think that you last point is the important one. "A bike of this value". I live about 500 mtrs from a subway station and there are always a number of bicycles tied up to posts in the area. Very noticeable they are all old, dirty, grungy, things that no body would want. Some aren't even locked. I've yet to see a $3,000 carbon fiber racing bike parked there :-) I have always considered bicycle locking devices as something the prevent a casual thief from stealing the bicycle It prevents the everyday drunk/messed up kid from just rolling away with it. With this kind of lock, that can't happen and for the determined thief with tools etc there are many other bikes right nearby which will be much less work. -- Cheers, John B. |
