Padlock For Sprocket

I wanted a padlock that would fit both the front disk and rear sprocket on my Speed Twin. The reasoning is that discs are cut quicker these days than locks, I didn't want to carry a lock in my pocket and a lock on a sprocket goes through the chain and is perhaps more of a deterrent.

My solution is the ABUS GRANIT 37/55 Sea and Snow Lock. The gap in the sprocket is not that big and this 11mm shackle just goes through (from the inside only) and there is just enough clearance for the chain.

I chose this bicyle saddle bag to keep it on the bike.

There's also an incentive to keep the chain clean.

 

I know I'd do the same so I'll only use it front or back with the reminder attached!

 

Well, yeah that's why I have to keep my chain lubed but clean. Like you I don't leave mine very often but depending where I do, I have the option of front or rear disc and the sprocket. The Oxford Boss I have at home won't fit the sprocket. I've seen thefts (on the internet) where they just lift the front end or cut through the disc as it is cheap to replace and quicker than grinding through the lock. Hopefully they'd think twice with the sprocket locked.

How do you carry your locks Ade? Rucksack?
