I plan on riding bike for often and while I have invest and will continue to invest in the typical security measures (D lock, wheel lock, etc.). However, in the extreme case that it should get stolen I want a way to track it down. I was thinking about getting a Tile tracking and place it within the frame of my bike but there’s a better way please suggest it. Thanks in advance!

    Radio-signal doesn’t go through metal, so sticking such a thing inside a metal bell blocks the signal, except where no metal is.

    ie, if the top half of the bell is metal, and the lower is plastic, the signal can only get out through the lower-half.

    Test the product, to discover how it actually performs, please.

    There are many bogus products in our world.

        I like your logic. It’s very interesting.

        Unlike your bell housing, any metal parts of the AirTag is integrated in its design.

        The guy was just advising you to make sure your setup works BEFORE your bike is stolen. Why are you getting so defensive about it? Do you want to find out after your bike is stolen that you can’t find it?
