Exactly the video I needed as I tried to decide between the two lengths of this lock. Thank you for this contribution to the KZfaq commonwealth.

This was such a helpful review, thank you so much! I really appreciate how thorough you were regarding the practicality of each size.

This is by far the best review of any lock i've seen so far. Greetings from Germany.

Thank you for this awesome video! Wanted to order a 110 version but you saved me

Thanks for this. As a taller guy - 6’2”, I was tending to go for the larger of the two. You’ve shown me that the 85cm Is perfectly fit for my use case, and that I can use the screw holes on my XL Canyon gravel bike. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia

I've got the larger version and it fits perfectly where the bottle holder would be using the plastic straps. Very secure and out of the way.

Thank you soooo much.I got that big badboy home and was shocked that there were no drilled holes to mount it which seems counterintuitive - but I have a real fat frame bike so I will have to figure this out - the short one won't really work for me. But no where else did my questions and concerns ger addressed - so THANNKS!!

The downside for me is losing a bottle cage. I'd probably just stick it in a frame bag. I'm actually looking at the shorter one because I don't want much play in it when it's locked up. Makes it easier to maneuver for anyone trying to cut it. Thanks for the review. Very helpful

In your place I'd also keep the smaller one. There is another option with an additional cable (called Cobra) that you can add to the lock in different sizes. Transporting this additional cable is another problem though. 🙃

i hated the straps too... until i mounted it and they are perfect, it doest move AT ALL! i have mine on the rear of the frame since i have a electric bike co model R... go w the bigger one on the right esp if you have an ebike... i bought both and the smaller one didnt fit around my bike, rear wheel and bike rack... like the one on the right allows. if you can do all of that w the smaller one bc your bike is smaller, of course thats better bc its lighter, thanks for the video!

Mine is mounted on the side of my back wheel. It took me a while to realize how to open it!

Me sirvió mucho tu información, muchas gracias, saludos desde Monterrey, México

Thanks a for your review.

Thank you for this excellent video. How are your practical experiences with the castle? For me, the holding mechanism constantly opens while I'm driving. How is it with yours?

Ohhh THX 🙏 nice video Now i Will order the smal One

Mounting that large one to a bottle mount is nothing but a drill bit away!

I had the small one for a short time, worked great but it fell out of the holder and I didn't realize it, so it's long gone!!

Excellent video

All good points. The 110mm ABUS would be good for locking two bikes when we both ride together.

Thanks for the vid. I was surprised (disappointed) when I got the 110cm and discovered there's no holes for mounting on the bottle holder. I'm probably going to return and go for a wearable lock. Also I need a larger bag like the one you have attached to you handlebars. Can you please give me the name and or link? Thx

They sell Handle bar extension bars perhaps that might work.

Helpful, I nearly ordered the big one, but is not practical. thank you.

Have you had any problems with the lock popping out of its holder when hitting bumps? Mine keeps popping out and I'm wondering if I need to adjust those two screws or just get a new case. I have the 85cm for reference.

You could just drill the holes in the bigger holder but for the 85cm version there is a different holder more like a puch, its way nicer

Do you have to mount it to your bike or can you just keep it in a bag until use

Dude! Just remove one of your bottle cages and strap the holder to the frame where the bottle cage used to be! That's what you were planning on doing anyway! I'm so confused... BTW, I think that ABUS did not provide the holesin the 110 holder for using your bottle cage mounts due to the weight of the lock. I'm sure that they are worried that the heavier lock could pull bottle cage rivnuts right out of the frame.

Hopefull thankyou

Could the holder be mounted using the bottle cage screws? Thank you

Why couldn’t you just drill holes into the 110 holder?

Did you try strapping to the forks?

Tbh you could easily drill 2 holes in the bigger cage.

You did pay them for sending the big lock even though it was their mistake right? 🙂

Keyhole goes up - not down!

!!

just drill a few holes 👍

ABUS locks are the heaviest, bulkiest, ugliest locks on the market - AND not even that secure. You can get a 'grinder' proof lock that's just as good, weighs and costs about half... and that will be just as easily picked.

My dog could pick this

How much shit do you need on that bike?

don't understant why to pay this much for all this expensive stuff if ANY battery powered grinder can cut them ALL, abus granit, krytonite NY etc. ppl blow extra 50-80 euros on a b.s. 15 mark protection but it's a plain marketing. same grinder is required for a 10€ simple U lock. get that one, save 80€ and extra 1kg of *useless* weight !
