Title: Poxy bloody disc lock!!! Post by: Manky Monkey on October 26, 2005, 07:31:27 PM Well I WAS supposed to be nipping down to Southampton to pick up Rainbow, but the poxy, cheap, nasty, useless, bloody Oxford Products disc lock she leant me won't undo! Can't move the bike -which is the whole point of the thing I know, but now I'm buggered. Good job it's parked outside my flat & not in a service station 200 miles from home or something. Now I remember why I never buy their stuff! Will have to trudge all the way across town tomorrow, collect the angle grinder/finger sander from the garage, trudge back & cut the bloody thing off. Not a happy bunny!! >:(

Several clouts with a big hammer while turning the key in the lock did the trick. Rather surprisingly, achieved with all my digits intact. Now we're wondering if it was just a cheap, shoddy lock or whether someone had tried to force it. The bike usually lives chained to a steel ring concreted into the floor of a garage with 4 locks on the door. Must start using it again. It's a half hour walk away from my flat though. Guess I shoud leave the bike in the garage & my bicycle outside the flat!
