This is probably the best channel out there to test bike locks professionally

I really love the way you test the locks in your videos! It would be really interesting if you could compare the Kryptonite Evolution Integrated Chain with the Abus Grabit CityChain or something comparable.

Bicycle Thief would have either snipped the spokes in the wheel or unscrewed the 4or8 bolts holding the bike rack in place.🙂↕️

I really like how you consider such things as seen at 2:46 and tests different methods, some of which are often forgotten or overseen. :) 6:25 I also have the same thought and its a bit sad, because ART rated it with 4/5 stars, while similar strong u-locks with sold secure pedal cycle diamond have 3/5 stars for example the Abus Granit 540!

I really enjoy your testing videos. They're very informative. Any chance you could make a video on the litelok x3 & hiplok dx1000?

Use 2 Krytonite locks and only make brief stops at convenience stores and gas stations, not grocery shopping. If it's possible park in the line of sight. If there's a shady character with battery powered angle grinder hanging around, just go to a different store.

I think it's a shame you didn't answer some important questions. For example, how hard and resistant is the metal against a saw? What is the metal thickness of the body? What is the internal mechanism and is it made of plastic? These are important questions to understand the quality of the product.
@bikelockwiki2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the feedback, all noted and will add the requested details to answer these questions tomorrow. Against a hack saw, not much would happen to either of these locks. We’ve conducted HSS tests in many of our videos, but most case hardened locks will resist, and it makes for relatively boring content so in this video I tried to some different test methods. Adding hardness measurements is something we plan on doing, but currently we don’t have the funding to afford a tabletop Rockwell hardness tester. I’ll add internal mech measurements tomorrow. Thanks again for watching, and for your critique, I continuously try to improve quality, helpfulness and entertainment value of our videos.

@@bikelockwiki Thanks for taking it in stride. This is of course constructive criticism, not personal. I talked about the saw test as a test for the level of hardness and quality of the metal. Good to hear that you are interested in looking into this more in depth in the future. The thing is that in Chinese locks sometimes cheap, weak and thin metal is used for different parts of the lock, and this is something you need to know. Appreciate your content and input.

@@bikelockwiki Sometimes the cylinder is not of good quality, which will create problems. Drilling can also be a problem.
@bikelockwiki2 ай бұрын
Yep, after working in the industry for many years I understand all of the above, and yes some locking mechanisms are weaker than others. However drilling out a cylinder is not a popular method of attack, but we do include this in some of our videos. The Elite is a Sold Secure Diamond rated lock, and is a similar build to the OnGuard Pitbull, a very reliable lock.

cheers for these videos, theyre very helpful. do you intend on testing/comparing the abus ultimate 420 at all?

We have it ready to test, but have a few other videos in the pipeline. Did you have any questions about the 420? I may be able to help :)
