Default Security System

Do you think a security system is worth $225?

At 20k plus for bike and extras $300 sounds good to me even if it's only for piece of mind.

They must be in demaned, because I've been waiting a month for one to come in for my night train.

I have a feeling the value of security elements is relative to the risk involved in actually having it stolen. I know people who have a security alarm and a chain and practically sleep under their bike at night, for fear of losing it...on the other side of the spectrum I know people that don't even lock their forks at night.

I've always believed if someone wants your bike, they'll get it.

That said, I lock the forks, and put a caliper lock on when I park.

I also have really good insurance. I might opt for the security system when i get some money, but basically for when I'm parked at a place so I'll know if some yahoo messes with it.

I don't think there is anything on the market that can completely stop someone from taking your bike if they are so inclined. I think security devices are simply deterants. Any little bit helps when it comes to the average or wannabe thief.
