Is an additional bike lock or chain necessary?

Are you looking for a bicycle lock for an expensive bicycle? Then it is advisable to use a second bike lock in addition to a ring lock. A plug-in chain is the easiest way to increase the security of your bike. This is an additional lock chain that you connect to your frame lock, so that you can lock your bike to fixed objects.
The disadvantage of a plug-in chain is that it does not have an extra lock. If the thief manages to crack your frame lock, he can also remove the inserted chain from your bike. A stronger option is a good frame lock in combination with a foldabe lock, U-lock or chain lock suitable for a high risk of theft. By using two separate locks you make it very difficult for a thief to steal your bike.
