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.

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. :)
