what do people think to datatag? Gimick or deterent? Just got akit for christmas and was a suprise as never fitted it to any bike before seems simple enough even for me

but as far as i can tell it just guarantees a conviction, which is nice....
any experience?

Insurance company's like it and thieves don't because bike plastics make up quite a bit of the value of a broken bike, so it all helps.

Insurance benefits abit. Some companies insist on datatag, even if they are not bothered about an alarm. Had a bike stolen that was tagged, so it does not really put them off. If they want your bike to send abroad it does not matter if its tagged or not. Only real way to stop it getting nicked is to weld your bike to the ground, but as everyone knows that ain't practical.
