The evolution costs as much as my very good MTB…
Yup! That recommendation is at best for those >2000€ bikes at best

This is the one I’m talking about, $75

Kryptonite Evolution 1055 Mini 10mm Chain Bicycle Lock , Black https://a.co/d/0xjPXNw

If your bike is worth over $300 then imo it’s worth it, now that every douchebag has a mini bolt cutter in their backpack (around here)

I wonder how those electric/powered bolt cutters fare against that…I mean the manufacturer has to cut it somehow as well, right?

Lockpicking lawyer’s hydrolic bolt cutter exploded on it.

Angle grinders will cut through anything, but they’re loud, and if you have a lock that takes more than 30 seconds to grind or 1 grinder disk, well why would the thief bother vs one of the easier targets?

Also tape an airtag somewhere on the bike.
