Abus Ultra 410 U-Bolt 230 x 12mm Bike Lock + SH34 Bracket Green $15.99 + Postage ($0 with $99 Order) @ Pushys

1200

The real deal is buying 2 and getting them express delivered to Perth for $1.
Quite a bit of theft protection for $32.98 express delivered.
The regular delivery price when buying 1 is a disgusting $15.90.
No idea what magical logistics calculations Pushys do to come up with this so YMMV.

The smaller one is the same price too if anyone would prefer it:

    They've been selling ABUS cheap for months now, see past deals. Bargain!

    • Which one is best design-wise to stop thieves?

      • +3

        Walking

      • U bolt is best.

        If you want to use different types of locks, it means that any potential thief might need different tools to steal your bike. Practically speaking it would be a lot of extra weight to carry around as you ride. U Locks are recommended by the Lockpicking Lawyer

      • +3

        Any of them will only deter impulse opportunity theft for an alternative target.

        In 2022, nothing except pot luck of Police driving by will stop those who have reconnoitered prior, spotted their target and come planned and prepared. An battery powered portable angle grinder deals with any/all in less than a minute.

        https://youtu.be/FuxHYcP63DE

        • Yeah but how often does it happen in Oz?

          • +1

            @M00Cow: My fiance had hers stolen in South Bank, Brisbane using either an angle grinder or some solid bolt cutters.

          • @M00Cow: Very frequently. Apparently just not to you yet.

            They aren't going to waste time and energy on cheapies & junkers. But if you've got a good bike, it's a target opportunistic or planned. You have no idea how organised and brazen some of these junkies/kids are.

        • +1

          Or if you're prepared to spend ~$450 on a lock (with the very loose general rule of thumb being spend 10% of your bike's value on the lock…so for a $4500+ bike)

          https://hiplok.com/product/hiplok-d1000/

          It's supposed to take at least ~5 blades, and 10+ continuous minutes of cutting with an angle grinder to get through

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80a39RjJnGU (manufacturer's video, you can look up demos of other people not making it all the way through after 3 full blades, etc.)

          • @merivetio: With you on that.

            If I rode a bike in that price category, which isn't difficult these days,it wouldn't be left/parked anywhere out of my sight and 30 second dashing presence other than at home. I'd buy a $1k commuter to ride regularly and park at work if leaving it unattended was necessary -and still lock it.

      • +2

        The idea is to deter. If they want your scooter/bike/etc they can steal it.

        So I always use 2 locks.. since everyone else uses 1 lock (or on the goldie sometimes no locks), thieves mostly take the easiest ones. Of course if you lock a $15k bike up in the same public place day after day for a long time, then you're more likely to get targeted.

      • +6

        For detering thieves all three lock types are great for detering 99% percent of thieves. I've used a lock similar to the steel-o-flex to protect a SuperSport motorcycle worth over $10,000 for over a decade. The steel links are too thick to fit inside of bolt cutters. A U-lock takes the longest to angle grind because a thief has to cut twice through hardened steel as most quality U-locks have double ball bearings that prevent twisting/torsion. The steel-o-flex is a visual deterent but go the U-lock if you want the best physic deterent.

        No lock will "stop" a determined thief. Most thieves are opportunistic and carry light hand tools easily hidden in a backpack (eg. Cable cutter, hammer, crowbar). Most professional thieves aren't silly enough to risk gaol time spending 20 minutes loudly angle grinding, or seen carrying human sized giant bolt cutters, or leaving behind gas cylinder bottles. If the lock cannot be defeated in a few minutes the thief will move onto easier targets. Bicycles are everywhere.

        2 minutes is more than enough time for a bystander to pullout their mobile phone, take a picture and ring the police.

        The YouTube videos of angle grinding a U-lock in under 2 minutes are not realistic. They are usually best case scenario of inside a workshop held in a vice at optimal bench height with plenty space no obstructions. Real world is more like one hand/foot to hold the lock/bicycle, operator is hunched over close to ground for half an hour in a narrow space, at night requiring own lighting.

        For pro tips watch the police informational YouTube videos on how to properly use locks eg. Keep off the ground, shorten the length, etc.

    • have been using a similar size abus D lock mounted to frame for 15 years now - rock solid, and big enough to easily attach to things in the urban environment.
      I've just ordered 2, a handy christmas present for kids

  • +1

    Would anyone like to join and split the order? im from perth too

    • I'd like to split the order with you

      • Pm me please

        • +1

          I have purchased two already.
          Can't PM you right away as my account is >1d old.
          Will msg you in the next couple of days.

  • Holy shit that’s cheap. I got a d lock ages ago and it was like $30-40

  • +1

    Thank you!

  • I have the small version of this. Hasnt been subject to attempted theft but has been neglected out in the rain for months and still works fine

  • +1

    Is it this? (Haven't watched this one specifically)

    • Nah, the one in the video uses a disc detainer core, and the one for sale here appears to have a wafer core (look at the key).

      • From what I understand the wafer ones are easier to pick, without specialised tools, or knowledge.

        • Yep, you can just rake these ones.

  • wow thats fantastic. i dont need 2 locks but $33 for 2 delivered is great, guess thats 1 christmas gift sorted then

  • Not a bad price, if I hadn't managed to snag the last Abus 6500/110 SH Bordo Granit X-Plus for $61.81 from Amazon the other day I would get this.

  • +1

    That's crazy cheap. Thanks OP!

  • Even though it's advertised as a bike lock, canuse it to lock sheds, gates, or anything around posts, etc.

    Country of manufacture is probably incorrectly states as Germany, German design yes.

  • If anyone in Syd wants to split let me know

  • +1

    Cheers OP, grabbed it and another ABUS product (chain lock good price too). All to secure my boat trailer while its at the ramp

  • +1

    any tips to mount this lock ? bought couple last time and the included mount is too small for the bike frame . I have small and extra small MTB

  • +1

    Lock lasts about 2 seconds in a thief's test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuXaqoc9s18

    • not a very good real world test tbh

      • Exactly. The guy in the video even tries to use the bolt cutters unsupported and fails. In a real world scenario the U-lock will be high off the ground attached to the bike rack and he won't be able to brace the cutters the way he did.

        The idea is the lock will be a challenge and will require time and/or noise for the thief to break. Meaning so long as you locked up in an open, public area your bike won't be targeted.

        Sure you won't be safe against angle grinder attacks but that's not the use case.

    • +4

      I would not too long ago have thought this to be an extreme example, but I had a friend lose a scooter from inside a cinema lobby from someone who casually cut the lock with bolt cutters and walked out with it. It's due to this that I will never trust anything enough to keep my expensive wheels safe so it's never going out of my sight unrestrained.

      • Now that thieves know every Ozb has this lock it's goimg to be a crime spree.

      • 100% - my bike is with me, or within arms' reach…. cost far too much to trust to a $16 lock, no matter how big the discount is

  • I must be missing something - how do you get express post for $1???

    • +1

      add 2 and it worked for me. no idea if glitch or $30 min spend or what, but it worked half an hour ago
      edit: still quotes $1 express for me in shipping calculator. NSW metro

      • +1

        Yup there it is, sorry thought it was a code.
        Thanks for your reply!

  • is 1000g too heavy to be riding around with it?

    • +2

      Same as riding with a 1L bottle of water. Give it a try and report back.

      • Good point.. never had a water bottle.

        I should also have asked is it noticeable if a 8yo carries this on their bike.

        • +4

          Yeah, I reckon I would notice an 8yo carrying one on a bike.

        • +1

          Seems pretty big for an 8 year old and probably be too large to mount the holder to the cross bar. I'd get the smaller version of it and even then measure on a piece of paper with and additional few centimetres on each size to make sure it will fit.

  • +2

    Perfect timing. Was just looking at bike locks today for my new bike. Thanks OP.

    Quite a bit of theft protection for $32.98 express delivered.

    Thanks OP, didn't need any locks but bought both just to to get the $1 delivery. Looks like a good present idea for my friends with bikes.

  • +2

    Thanks OP, is the $1 express post an error?!

  • +1

    Keep in mind that this lock is approved for insurance purposes with velosure

  • +1

    Better than insurance … thanks OP

  • I'm not getting the express post option at all, NSW metro. Any ideas?

    Edit: NVM had to be exactly two of the same items with nothing else in the order!

  • how can the small one fit on the bikes, 14cm is nothing unless your tires are really close to the frame?

  • +1

    thanks OP. Got the large and small one so I can leave 1 at work, and 1 at home

  • Ah just ordered a Kryptonite for $100 the other day…

  • They seem to have fixed the $1 express shipping

    • +1

      i just bought 2 of the OP linked locks, plus the steel-o-flex (=$52), used a $10 off sign up code, and paid the $1 express shipping .. this was 7mins ago… i'm in south Sydney.
      Others seem to suggest it's related to the type/combo of items in your order?

  • The smaller one is available too:

    https://www.pushys.com.au/abus-ultra-410-u-bolt-140-x-12mm-b… $16 from $99.

    Chain one:

    This is my bike recovered by the Queensland Police in Mackay. The thieves had to carry the bike because they couldn't get through the bike D lock and eventually dumped the bike due to not lifting at the gym and poor cardio. The thieves got through two other locks on the car bike carrier as well as damaging the bike carrier to get the bike.

    Although I already had very good bike locks, have already since significantly increased my bike security/locks, I will be going ahead with buying two of these bike locks in this OzBargain post. An extra lock for each wheel when travelling and can be used to lock up other items when at home.

  • Why is the big one coming up as $54? Am I missi g something?

  • +1

    It looks like the price of the D locks have jumped up to $55. The chain and cable locks are still $12.

  • Anyone know if the small one is big enough to lock up a bike frame and back tyre around a pole?

    gonna pull a walter white haha

  • bizarre company. order 2 to get $1 express shipping, then they mail each out in seperate boxes via express. pretty sure it cost them more to mail both locks to me than I paid in total

  • +1

    The SH34 Bracket is a bit too small for my frame. Anyone know of any solutions or other brackets?
    Considering zip tying the clamp together.

  • +1

    Mine arrived today. This is easily one of my favourite Ozbargains of the year. Thanks OP!

  • If anyone in Melbourne bought 2 of the Abus 410 (large or small) just for the $1 shipping, and doesn't really want it, I'd be happy to split it with you! :)
