Bicycle Lock-up - Mountain Bike

ASEGURAR BICICLETAS

Choose the right lock. The level of security you need depends on where you are leaving your bike, and for how long.
Always lock your bike to a solid object that it cannot be lifted over
Lock your bike in a well lit area with high foot traffic.
Make sure what you lock your bike to cannot be cut
Lock according to value frame first, then back wheel, and finally front wheel.
Get a right fit! The less room inside of the u-lock or chain, the more difficult it will be for thieves to use their tools.
Position your lock off the ground with the keyhole facing down.

Frame only u-lock or chain:

There may be an instance where due to either an oddly shaped locking structure, the size of your lock, or the size of your bike, where you are limited in what you are able to capture in your lockup. In this case the frame should be the priority of the lockup.

Frame AND REAR WHEEL u-lock OR CHAIN:

BELOW ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOCKING FOLDING BIKES SPECIFICALLY.

THE LOCK

When locking a folding bike that has been folded, we typically recommend using a chain, long shackle u-lock, or a folding lock. This will allow you to capture more components of the bike, often times the frame, rear, and front wheel along with the immovable object.

ACCESSORIES

Remember to remove any accessories like GPS units or lights before leaving your bike.

BELOW ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOCKING E-BIKES SPECIFICALLY.

PRE-INSTALLED LOCKS

E-Bikes vary drastically by model. When locking your bike, make sure to lock any installed locking mechanism like a pre-installed battery lock

MONITORS

Many E-Bikes have a monitor, or cyclometer. Make sure to remove these if possible, and any other easily removable accessories before locking your bike.

BATTERY

If convenient and possible, remove your battery and take it with you.

CHAINS

Often times a chain can be preferable when locking an E-Bike. A chain provides flexibility to ensure you will be able to capture your frame and a wheel, especially when a wheel contains your electric motor.

A CONTINUACIÓN APARECEN CONSEJOS ADICIONALES DE RECORDAR ESPECÍFICAMENTE PARA CUANDO ASEGURE BICICLETAS DE MONTAÑA.

EN SENDEROS

Cuando está de paseo, llevar un antirrobo más pesado no siempre es la mejor opción. Cuando no está montando en bicicleta, es mejor que la mantenga a la vista y cerca de usted en todo momento. Llevar un cable puede resultar útil, para atar su bicicleta a un objeto inamovible u otra bicicleta de montaña, para impedir robos express y con daños, aunque solo sea un elemento disuasorio.

EN REMOLQUES, PORTABICICLETAS O CAMIONETA.

Es importante que asegure sus bicicletas durante el transporte. Con algunas variaciones basadas en destinos turísticos, y duración de la parada, le recomendamos que utilice los productos de Máxima Seguridad cuando sea posible. Asegúrese de asegurarla a los objetos más inamovibles presentes. Instalar una ancla terrestre, como Stronghold, en una camioneta o remolque puede funcionar como objeto inamovible.

EN CASA

Asegurar su bicicleta en casa es fundamental, especialmente cuando se trata de bicicletas de montaña de alto valor. Las puertas de garaje no son tan seguras como se lo cree y resulta fácil forzarlas. Les recomendamos un antirrobo de Seguridad Máxima atado a un objeto inamovible. Una ancla terrestre como Stronghold puede funcionar como objeto inamovible.

SOCIAL

Tenga cuidado cuando comparte sus trayectos y bicicleta en público en las redes sociales. Los ladrones puede utilizar aplicaciones para bicicletas para ver donde un corredor con una bici cara empieza y termina su trayecto para identificar la ubicación de su bicicleta. Cuando sea posible, empiece y termine sus paseos desde distintas ubicaciones.

PRACTICE PROPER LOCKING TECHNIQUES! WHILE A ROAD BIKE IS A UNIQUE STYLE OF BIKE, THE FOUNDATION OF PROPER LOCK-UPS STILL APPLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN USING YOUR ROAD BIKE TO COMMUTE. PLEASE LOOK TO OUR STANDARD BICYCLE LOCK-UP TAB FOR TIPS ON LOCKING PROCEDURE, AS WELL AS LINKS TO HELP YOU FIND THE RIGHT LOCK.

BELOW ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOCKING ROAD BIKES SPECIFICALLY.

ON THE ROAD

When on a ride, carrying a heavier lock isn’t always an option. It’s best to keep your bike in sight, and near you at all times when not riding. Carrying a cable can be helpful, to attach your bike to an immovable object, or another road bike, to prevent grab and dash theft, but is only a deterrent.

ON THE TRAILER, BIKE RACK OR TRUCK BED

It is important to lock your bikes while in transport. With some variation based on travel location, and duration of stop, we recommend using Ultimate Security products when possible. Make sure to lock to the most immovable object available. Installing a ground anchor, like the Stronghold, in the bed of a truck or trailer can work as a great immovable object.

AT HOME

Locking your bike at home is crucial, especially with high value road bikes. Garage doors are not as secure as you may believe and are easily violated. We recommend an ultimate security lock to an immovable object. A ground anchor like the Stronghold can work great as an immovable object.

SOCIAL

Be careful about sharing your riding schedule and bike on public social networks. Thieves may use social riding apps to watch where a rider with an expensive bike, starts and ends their rides to pinpoint the location of where the bike is stored. If possible, start and end your rides from varying locations.
