Very definitely the rear wheel.
The front can come off in seconds, the rear cannot.
That's presuming you have a very strong chain and lock.
If your lock is a fairly standard one it makes no odds which wheel its on.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Hi, Thanks

That is what I thought, but these holes around the Front wheels of the cover threw me a bit.

Any idea what they are for? (Its def the front as the cover doesnt fit if i try other way round)

also have the oxford monster lock. Pretty sturdy stuff.

Most people chain the front out of convenience -- it's easier to chain the front than the back. That's why I'd guess the holes are there.

I think you'll be more than fine with the Oxford monster, I just googled that, and wow, that thing is a beast.

yep. Its pretty chunky.. only downside is I would prefer an integrated chain lock rather than a padlock one which effectively is 3 bits. But you cant have it all!

Xena xx6 (alarm disc lock) coming tomorrow. Might use just that while its sitting in back garden in ear shot. :)
