Title: Not For Sale Anymore, Brand New Oxford Disc Lock.
Post by: Mr_G on March 08, 2009, 03:23:42 PM
As stated in the title, I have one of these for sale, I bought it for my bike only to realise when I got it home and out of the packet it will not fit my disc due to the fact that it's not flat, If someone has a completely flat disc brake and requires a lock for it let me know, I'm looking to make back what I paid for it £20, it comes with one of them bright coily things that you hook on your handle bar to remind you that you have a lock on and a little pouch to keep it in.

Any interest PM me. Free postage.

Cheers Mr_G.

I once forgot to take a disc lock off -jeez, how embarrassing!
At the Magna Carta rally many years ago. Parked in the high street. Walked out of the pub, climbed on the bike, fired it up, snicked it into gear, checked over my shoulder, pulled away from the kerb
.......thunk, aaargh, crunch.
The bike travelled just far enough that when it suddenly stopped as the disc lock hit the back of the fork leg I lost all semblance of balance & very nearly went head first over the handebars. As it was, I ended up wrestling it to the ground in a very undignified heap. Not cool.
So, yeah, the brightly coloured reminder thing on the bars is a very good idea!

Been there, done that....in the High street, luckily a nice man came and picked the bike off me.  You just can't get the leverage to lift a bike when your lying underneath it.  ;D ;D ;D

Lol neither can you when you have your lower calf trapped between the burning exhaust and the pavement. No one interested in my disc lock then? lol  :(

I know its only been on here for about a week and there's been no interest in it, so i've given it to a mate at work and he's modifying it to make it fit my disc. So it's more than likely not for sale any more.

Cheers Mr_G
