Seemed like you were doing a commercial for the mini

[@bikelockwiki]

Side by side comparison and testing to showcase the ability of either lock 🤷🏻‍♂️

thanks!

Thanks for watching!

I hope the bike thieves in my area aren't coming around with Thor hammers and anvils.

[@bikelockwiki]

The hammer test isn't designed to replicate how thieves steal on the street, but to compare the quality and durability of the steel either lock uses :)

how big of bolt cutters would it take to cut the rivits on a foldylock compact i seen a video of them cutting the abus bordo 6000 rivits with a 30in bolt cutters

[@bikelockwiki]

Good question! In our review of the compact (which you can find in our latest videos) we couldn't crop the rivet with 24" bolt cutters. Any larger than this, and the cutters would be tough to conceal on the street. I think 42" bolt cutters would probably be big enough, but as mentioned above, these are too heavy to carry around, let alone conceal.

Mini or compact for one bike? in what cases it is better to use mini and in what cases compact?

[@bikelockwiki]

For me I’d take the mini, it’s lightweight and slightly more compact. It does offer a slightly reduced shackle space so you’ll be slightly more restricted with what you can secure your bike to, but I didn’t find this much of an issue and was able to secure to most immovable objects with the Mini and my bike.

Great testing video 😊

[@Jay-xq1dc]

Great video, however not very helpful for me nor other people in my country. Would be great to see more easily available products shipping world wide. Abus is great in this aspect, tons of local stores and national stores, the other product not so easy :(

[@bikelockwiki]

Thanks for watching. We plan to review more locks, so stay tuned :)

[@EdwardRomero-b1m]

I noticed when you did the abus you put the lock all the way to the back of the bolt cutters When you did the mini, they were more to the front, which makes it harder to cut steel again favoritism

[@bikelockwiki]

Watch it again, if anything it’s the other way around :)

[@oshiemoto]

3.5 seconds to cut with a cordless grinder. Only option is an alarmed lock, but these don't charge and are not rated for outdoor use.

[@bikelockwiki]

3.5 seconds? Where’d you find that? Seems too quick to me. If you’re worried about an angle grinder, avoid folding locks and go for a grinder resistant lock such as the LITELOK X3 or the Hiplok D1000.

[@Igotthatjizz]

Foldylock forever test?

[@bikelockwiki]

It’s on my to-do list!

[@anthonymaster6160]

You should make a video on LiteLok D-Lock, model X1 and model X3, to see if you can cut them with bolt cutter and angle grinders (battery operated and power cord operated) . Both of these locks will chew up those angle disks easily. The ABUS foldable lock model 6500 or 6500K is much better & more secured lock than the 6000 model.

[@bikelockwiki]

I will be testing these! Both of these will be uncuttable with bolt cutters, I'm not sure if iill even bother trying. I broke a pair of high-quality 42" bolt cutters yesterday attempting to cut an 8mm chain link. And yes the 6500 or 6500k are more secure than this. I'll be doing a comparison of the the Foldylock Forever and the 6500k shortly.

[@sbturtle5345]

No angle grinder test.

[@bikelockwiki]

Some of my other reviews give a good idea of how these locks would perform :)

[@constantinsabin3193]

Abus bordo is an expensive crap U locks are much better and cheaper than this

[@bikelockwiki]

As the Bordo 6000 is a bronze rated lock I'd agree and say that it's expensive for the security it provides.

[@TheGhostfaceKLR]

And heavier, and harder to carry. Define "better"?

[@ruudboek]

@@TheGhostfaceKLR And it rattles!

[@evamaier7973]

But not usable around lamp posts

[@constantinsabin3193]

Security is important, not portability

[@bikelockwiki]

This is completely subjective. Some cyclists like to take lightweight, highly portable locks on rides where they'll only need to use a lock to stop opportunists from running off with it. For example, if you're sat in a cafe or pub garden at the end of a long ride you might take a lightweight lock with you to lock your bike to a bench/chair. All dependant upon the individual and the locking scenario.

[@TheGhostfaceKLR]

I hate to say "you're wrong", but you are ;-) It depends entirely on the scenario. A friend of mine lost a bike when he popped into a convenience store to grab a six-pack because he didn't have a big, heavy lock with him. A 2lb Foldylock Mini would have saved his bike. So yes, sometimes all we need is a light-duty, easy to carry lock.

[@ruudboek]

I recently found out just how much more enjoyable my ride is with with a lock that doesn't rattle (the foldylock mini), i cannot state enough that security is not the most important. I would go so far as to say they it is worth it getting a cheaper bike with a lower security rating lock that doesn't 't rattle instead of using a higher security lock on a expensive bike that does rattle. Kryptonite, Onguard, Trelock and Abus have a lot to learn. And no, putting a heavy lock in your backpack is not a solution to the rattling.

[@TheEchelon]

The best lock is the one you use. Not everyone wants to lug around a 4kg chain.

[@avronaut]

This is a commercial Period
