![]() They Xena locks feel heavy but there isn't much metal at the critical points. And others said they had their bikes stolen after thieves must have done something like this, or just used a crowbar to break the lock. Several guys have broken theirs when they rolled their bikes with the disc lock on and they broke when they hit the calipers. Looking around the forums, it would appear they aren't necessarily a strong lock either. try different positions on the brake disc. clean the reflector plate and plastic window ![]() If anyone has false alarm issues, here is the checklist that occasionally works for some, although like me many just remove the internals and forget about it: I've bought disc alarms from Aldi for a third of the price, and they have been extremely reliable for the past year - just wish I'd bought those in the first place but I figured spending more would result in a higher quality alarm. Like many, I've now just taken the battery out and use it as a basic disc lock. I went through all the proposed solutions (see below), with no luck, although it does work for some according to feedback on the forums - give it a try first before chasing a replacement! I checked the forums and it seems a lot of Xena disc locks do this. This time it lasted till just out of warranty period before the constant false alarms started. I went back to the shop again and exchanged it again. The first one would go off at random intervals which was really getting to the neighbors when it went off at random times like 3am! I took it back under warranty and after a few weeks had the same issue with the second one. ![]() The big problem I have faced with the Xena dlsc lock alarm is false alarms. I had such terrible aftersales support I felt I had to put this video together. They do work for many riders, but looking at the forums there's also a significant number of false alarms. If you watch the above video (now deleted) you'll see I've had an incredible run of bad luck with false alarms on the Xena disc lock alarms.
