Why do you say that a RoadLoK is not a disc lock?
Use of the word “disc lock” is banned in our office. A disc lock, in the general sense of the term, is merely a glorified padlock a rider clamps to his rotor to prevent their motorcycle from being rolled-away. Convenience and pretty packaging aside, how is a “disc lock” different than a $3 padlock, or even a bolt and locknut for that matter? They all do the same thing–prevent your wheel from completing a rotation. But there’s a problem, what happens when you forget to remove that “disc lock” or padlock or bolt before you try to ride your bike? BANG! That’s the sound of hundreds in damage and maybe even a broken leg or arm. We’ve all seen it. Our “motorcycle locking system” is not a “disc lock”. It stays on the bike. When locked it allows NO MOVEMENT. It cannot damage the bike. It cannot hurt you. Does that sound like a disc lock?
