Abus Ultra Mini 410 U-Lock Secures Bikes Against
Theft.
The second most important thing you can do to prevent the theft of your bicycle is to lock it to as strong and as solid an object as you can find with the
best lock you can afford. And that's where the ABUS
U-BOLT ULTRA MINI 410 BIKE LOCK comes in to save
the day.
12mm Thick Shackle Resists Bolt Cutters
Made in Germany, the ABUS U-BOLT ULTRA MINI 410
U-SHACKLE LOCK offers good protection at medium
theft risk for your two-wheeler. The housing, 12mm
diameter shackle, and the structural parts of the
locking mechanism are made from specially-hardened
steel to resist bolt cutters and ice spray. Additionally,
the high-quality locking cylinder offers a robust level
of protection against tampering such as "lock picking".

  Don't use for anything you really care about. Easily defeated with bolt cutters

      Thieves are often on motorbikes- one gets off, quickly breaks lock and rides away. If something happens the first one picks them up again and they’re both off.
      Often only takes 30 seconds and your bike’s gone.

      You should really just assume that all locks can be broken. Except perhaps this one, but it's not all that practical:

      https://altorlocks.com/products/saf-lock

      So the point of locks is to make your bike less attractive to thieves than other bikes. If you have a thick D lock or 2, then your bike isn't unstealable, but it takes more effort to steal than other bikes so a thief will usually go for the easier bike - unless yours is super high value. In which case it shouldn't be out on the street.

      But bike locking best practice:

      1. Don't lock it in the street if you can avoid it. Take it inside if you are riding to work or a friend's house if you can. Also don't leave it in a 'secure underground garage'.They are notorious for being stolen from.
      2. If you have to lock it on the street, don't park it in the same place each time. Get a D-lock. Or two. The higher model kryptonite or abus ones are good, but expensive (i.e $100+ ) Certain areas like near train stations, universities, shops and libraries tend to hot spots, which is annoying are all the places you'd want to lock a bike.
      3. Try not to leave a fancy bike locked up. Or assume that you are gifting it to a stranger if you do.

      When I park in the city I actually use 2 d locks. One around the frame and rear wheel, one around the front of the frame, and a cable around the front wheel. There are cut marks where people have tried to break my locks but they haven't succeeded….yet. Over time I feel that the chances lower slightly as the bikes get older and older.

        Lol. At 6.2 kgs total weight, that's a hunk of metal to carry around.
        That's more than half my bike weight.

          @Tiggrrrrr: You don't even need to attach your bike to anything - just lock the wheel with the frame.

        I prefer two different kinds of lock - heavy D and heavy chain needing two different attack methods. The idea is to just make your bike a higher risk, less attractive target. You must lock to a substantial piece of street hardware. If you just lock a wheel to the frame, any mug in a ute driving by can pick up your bike and drive away in seconds.

          @roller: +1 2 different methods. I just can't be bothered carrying a chain as well.

          My method is also somewhat contextual. No g'tees of course, but the woeful standard of bike locks I always see on bikes locked up around me means that my one always looks like the harder challenge.

    Also easily defeated by a team of people with a helicopter and the ability to dig a huge circle of earth up from around whatever the bike is locked to.

    That's an awfully big pair of bolt-cutters. These are light-weight for D-locks, but still far better than a cable lock.

    You should have got the 420 when it was listed here a few days ago.

        Yep, statistically the black guy is far more likely to be stealing than the Asian guy. But all he needs to do is wear a hi-vis vest, and he becomes invisible.

          @bargaino: You mean statistically he's more likely to be reported or to be stopped by police?
          Hence a higher representation statistic.

          They did a similar experiment and Perth where both police and security ignored the caucasian, yet the indigenous youth was crash tackled and detained within minutes.

  This is really cheap for an Abus lock. Abus are a very good brand but I guess they are competing at the lower end of the market these days. My D lock was about $80-100 ten years ago, but has the much harder to pick lock that has a circular key and “double doors” entry protection. Love it and it still works flawlessly. I see these days they make standard key locks which are easier to pick. You would get what you pay for so if you have an expensive bike get a decent lock for it, or insurance. I had a $3k e-bike.

  Or just ride a cheapie bike.

    had a kryptonite evo 4 chain lock and hiplok dx on my ebike at home which some kid thieves tried to steal by drilling out the locks. they failed to steal the bike but (profanity) up the locks sufficiently that i had to borrow an angle grinder to cut the locks off. pathetic pieces of shit out there in the world.
