    What is the best theft proof bike?

    What is the best theft proof bike?

    no one brings their bike in the office. Several just lock it outside. I also have to walk a bit until I reach my desk. So I'd have to carry it folded during this walk and it's quite heavy even without electric motor (11kg brompton) Also, I often get comments about dirtyness from bikes. Like it...

    What is the best theft proof bike?

    I can do that but I would be the only one on the building to do that. And I'd get various comments. I'm very new to the company and I don't want people to make comments about that. Maybe later I would get a brompton to the office (I've of course already considered that), but for now I just want...

    What is the best theft proof bike?

    Zebb, I have very bad experience with police. They literally don't care about robbery. I was expected to wait for weeks before they might start investigating... while I have everything in hand to find the thief. I fear that even with a GPS tracker and localized thief, police would just tell me...

    So if I understand it correctly, the 180mm disc brake from bmsbattery can't be installed to the bike??? Can it work if I just buy an additional 140mm rotor??
