I'm not a bike theif 😳).. that disc on the Apex Pro is barely touching it 😂 That's impressive! I've still only heard the one podcast (not featuring Dave). Nice video to slip in among ride reviews.

    Love a bit of security and totally agree with the layering idea. Slow em down Shed barrier. whilst visually a deterrent. The shed is made of wood and a new doorway could be made in seconds. Ground anchor is only as good as it's fixings and material it's fixed too. Maybe look into testing a Milwaukee handheld cordless metal cutting circular saw. As these also are the weapon of choice along with cordless grinders, 12" disc cutters. At the end of the day if they want it they'll take it. If its too hard to take from home they'll do it on the move. When least expected.

    You made the most Important point of "layers" as you & Dave termed it. It's all about making the thieves job pure hassle. You want to put that seed of doubt in their thick heads. So they go for an easier target. Again like you said nothing is 100% bullet proof. A petrol grinder with a bigger blade would make light work of all that. But if you've got several different layers of security they're going to go elsewhere. Unless the prize is so good they'll do anything. But if that's the case your gonna have your limited edition 50grand Ducati in a underground vault!

    Two Comments: Are there not thieves using cutting torches? A small set about the size used by plumbers should be sufficient and quicker than grinders. If your ground anchor has a heavy small angle iron U-shaped frame inside reinforcing the plate it should be effective against most grinder attacts. If they are using a large cutting wheel, such as used in chop saws then perhaps not, but those wheels on a grinder tend to be dangerous. A cutting torch attack might be effect when cutting from inside and outside. Probably one of the best deterents to all manner of criminals would be dragging by their feet at 5mph through town behind a car until there is nothing discernable left to drag. The first mile or so televised would be the best deterence for other would be criminals. Of course if all the pick pockets and petty theives were done away with, where would find any politicians?

    Also worth adding to anyone contemplating buying locks, the Sold Secure rating is a bit misleading as the company don't rate any of their portable products as being angle grinder resistant, only the permanent ground anchor type, so you park up and walk away from your 'gold sold secure' locked bike at your peril.

    Some good products that will deter average thief but determined thieves cannot be stopped only slowed down. The design of the Apex allows an easy place to hook a length of chain to and rip it out. it'll stop a thief on foot but not mobile ones.

    You’re totally correct in that nothing is 100% against a determined and prepared thief who’s given the sufficient time to attack your security - but good security gives you more time to hopefully react and ‘deter’ any would-be thief who’s in the process of nicking your pride and joy 🤷‍♂️

Bit of a shit attitude, but if I make it so your bike is easier to steal / more attractive than mine, then there's a lot less worry for me... The main issue with security, is when you're NOT at home...

    Not a fan of security product tests usually because they are often crap products or like many have said not tested the weakest link, pun intended. It is very difficult to remain positive as a viewer with so much crap being peddled, that is only a deterrent to the dumbest of tea leaf. There are some obvious floors in some of their products, the shed barrier in particular on works if the the remainder of the shed is made equally secure. But hats off to them for being Uk based design and manufacturer and in the Black Country. Unlike many in this field, they also seem to have a genuine desire to improve and develope their security devices. I wish them success and will watch with interest when the bring other products to market in the future. Sorry for length of ramble🤣👍

    Looks like well made kit. However for the discount you will receive from any insurer for informing them you have all the security kit; if you forget to fit / use it one day and your pride and joy is stolen, you forgot to use it, your claims out the window, your bike out the door!. Buy the kit for piece of mind and a great deterrent, think about it before informing your insurance. Just my 2 pence of advice, not saying that insurance company's are as bad as the crooks, no one has ever called insurance company's anything like that!

  • @urgigrull4013
    @urgigrull40132 жыл бұрын

    Bruce, there is one error in thinking here. A thief would never try to attack a ground anker if he spots it. they would always attack the weakest point, the fastest point which would be the chain or wire in between the anker and the bike. So there is absolutely no use in challening the solid ground based anker, built for the purpose to withstand the violence.. well here might be some idiot thief feeling challenged. So the ground anker has to be solid, no question but it just has to be harder to crack than the chain or lock, which are the real weak points. Still I love their garage locking bar, that is the absoluteley cracking idea ! No need to protect my bikes in my area though, if there were, I would absolutely take the bar blocking everthing, brilliant idea, brilliant work they did ! Best to you !
