It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Mine needs a key to start but most importantly: Get a quality ulock and use it correctly. Consider a cut resistant chain, alarm, and tracker as well especially if you have a pricey ride.

No chain is sufficient if a thief is set on stealing something. Chains and locks only stop opportunistic theft. You can cut a u lock in 30 seconds with a battery operated angle grinder that fits in a small backpack. EG this 30s video https://youtu.be/RI9SEThrJMY

You can cut 4 cables within a minute with a hand tool https://youtu.be/-rphMwxTr54

You can cut some ulocks in 30 seconds. Try that with a high end ABUS or better yet a Skunk Lock lol

If I had an expensive bike, I would 100% buy a Skunklock Chemical: Bike thieves should suffer.
