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!
As others said, Tile or AirTags would probably be your best choice. AirTags have a better chance of being located (due to the large amount of iPhone users) but you’ll need an iPhone yourself. Tile should work too if you are in a more densely populated area. I have an AirTag on mine, but it hasn’t been stolen so I don’t know how useful they really are. But there are tons of ways to hide them on your bike. Just look for “AirTag bike mount hidden”. Under your bell, under the saddle, behind a reflector or even in the fork. If you want to go maximum security, disable the speakers (you’ll need to cut the AirTag open for this) and use 2 AirTags in different locations. The thieve might eventually be notified that an AirTag is moving with them, but you can hope that you’ll find your bike before the thieve found both of your trackers. Good luck with securing your bike!
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.
