Posts: 5207 Rosemark TN Gender:	Re: fork lock Reply #5 - 06/27/11 at 16:30:06 Let it sit a couple years and it will quit working all by itself... Cheesy piece of crap, mine looks great but is rusted up solid. Time to break out the angle grinder and welder, one more useless bit of stock decor can hit the melt pile...

Europe on the other hand... what is it with Germans and Savages/Drifters? Sheesh...

kimchris1 Serious Thumper Offline Pink Posse Rider... Posts: 2135 Belfair, Washington Gender:	Re: fork lock Reply #8 - 06/27/11 at 17:20:39 I used to before I placed the fork brace on. The brace seems to pervent the handlebars from turning tight enough for me to lock the forks. I don't even worry about it anymore. kim

If they want it, they have to work for it.

I put a bicycle U-lock w/ a braided cable leash,.. mostly as a visual deterrent... I don't want a couple of 14 yr old hooligans to run off with it, and with the fork locked, they'd try, and end up dropping it... The visible U-lock tells them no... ...

Posts: 297 Orange County, Ca Gender:	Re: fork lock Reply #12 - 06/28/11 at 09:15:38 I use the fork lock when mine is the only bike parked there (people seem less likely to act stupid when they think a bunch of bikers are near) and at night. At night I chain it up with crypto cable too.

Posts: 3802 WV Gender:	Re: fork lock Reply #13 - 06/28/11 at 12:20:03 I don't use mine either, but I can see those who have more reason to do so. Should have made a voting poll on this question. I've also wondered how many people leave their helmet on the bike (locked or unlocked) or carry it inside a store, etc.
