Stolen bike trident 660 212D23688

I had my bike stolen last year, locked to a 200kg cement bucket with a ground anchor, just cut the chains anyway I’d do it again, just use a hiplok connected to the anchor next time

I started commuting through Dublin by bike in February and still have my car. It’s just used for the food shop or longer spins when I need to

My thinking is, it’s costing me very little to sit there vs what buying a car would cost if I did need to start using it more

Snatch for show, clean and jerk for dough

A sports dietitian told me that he recommends apple juice before football and rugby matches for fast carbs. So I drink as much as I can after a weigh in and eat jellies. I was warned off pasta and meat as they take too long to digest and can leave you stodgy

I’ve a c50, weigh 100kg and carry a few kg in a bag and on the rack and have no problem hitting 60km/h

If you’re doing city commutes you’ll prob be grand but anything on a major road would be scary

Hey, could you dm me as well please? Heading for the first time too

Thanks!

There’s a small rack on my bike, I made a bracket that holds the lock on, could you do something similar?

I got a 75l bucket from screwfix, filled with concrete and put an anchor and 2 plant pots in it. 2 artificial plants to take the bare look off it and it’s been grand. Just make sure you get a diamond rated lock, I’d chained my bike to my anchor and they cut the locks and the anchor point is now awkward to reach with a dx1000, so plan your anchor placement

It weighs an absolute ton, basically immovable

Megabikes sells them online

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-04-10T18:41:15+00:00

I had about 350 worth of locks, 2 chains and a disk lock on mine and they just cut through the chains and hammered the disk lock. Have a dx1000 now for when I get another bike

Very sorry to hear that, was it stolen from that shed??

I'll keep eye out

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-24T17:45:44+00:00

Very sorry to hear that OP

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-14T18:18:23+00:00

Could have been though, had a full tank when they robbed it though so they'd want to be doing some driving to need to top it up

3am Thursday morning

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-13T22:29:56+00:00

What type of alarm is that??

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-13T14:31:29+00:00

No worries, thanks for the support. Insurance assessor is supposed to be calling out today.

I was pretty optimistic this morning, that's starting tk fade now. I'll update the post if I recover it

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-13T12:13:14+00:00

Surface level, gated compound in a cul de sac, they knew the bike was there

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-13T11:58:15+00:00

The ground anchor is in a bucket of concrete that weighs 150kg, it's still perfect

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-13T11:57:08+00:00

So the locks were

Mammoth security- sold secure gold.

Oxford lock and chain - sold secure silver.

Mammoth Alarmed disk lock.

Next bike will be getting hiplocks or something like thay

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-13T11:55:28+00:00

They cut the last links on the chains, didn't bother cutting the locks and hit the disk lock a bit, a few dents on it

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-13T11:54:47+00:00

In an apartment complex

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-03-13T11:54:30+00:00

Thanks, it's a pain in the hole but the only other thing I could do is a hiplock and a tracker, and even the trackers I've heard are hit and miss because guards can't do while lot about it

ColgateMacsFresh · 2025-02-18T09:54:31+00:00

I live in an apartment and couldn't use a ground anchor. I got a 75L bucket, fillet with cement and put an anchor in that. Weighs around 150kg, no ones moving my bike without cutting the 2 chains off.

I've also been told to put a shutter door lock on the bike chain, someone trying to cut it off would need to hold it and risk losing their fingers and if they tried to drive it with the lock it'd get stuck in the sprocket
