The one for the approximately 12, -. That it costs here, no thicker cable gets so that goes without saying Comparable equipped locks ABUS would certainly 60, - cost. The Burg-Wächter bicycle cable lock with light, assorted colors, 230 65 L costs while only 9, - but has no girdling and no key. Or it has girdling Burg-Wächter Spiral cable lock with light, assorted colors, 230 180L, no key and costs 16, - in which the design is otherwise suspiciously similar and no means high. A cable lock Abus 8700/85 Champ costs 25, - and has neither ringed nor light, nor combination lock and is only 85 cm long ... me so much too poorly equipped.
- Combination lock
4 digits, as you can see, and in fact not so easy to crack, have tested it extensively. The cheap 3-digit I crack in 2 minutes. But here I can do not the. It is also very easy to adjust: Open up, Turn the lever, set new code, lever back and ready.
Even after 2 years, goes very well to give it, especially if it has been exposed to wind and weather, occasionally should fat times. The figures are deeply engraved and even after long use still visible. I did not complain in the least at this castle.
- Normal lock
I rarely used.
- Keys that do not make a pants broken,
because the coding is milled side and the key is at the end of flat and not pointed, like most, then yes also this sawtooth coding ... what no one needs in his pants!
- Girdling up to 1 meter 80
That's enough for most cases. And it is also thin, ie flexible enough to be pulled by the spokes (and back ;-)
- Thick rubber coating of the steel to Kältespray
, at below 0 ° C a little stiff, but without being brittle only in winter and also UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant. The odors that have found says another reviewer is noticed in any of my 4 locks. I know those smells of pack parts from China, the really very bad smell of tar evaporate years. But this cable is completely unobtrusive odor.
- Lighting
1 blue LED and two lithium cells CR 1220. This is a rather rare format. Better yet get something on stock! The LED lights on thumb pressure the numbers properly. The patch for this luminaire housing is, however, prone to breakage. That's one of the reasons why it is quite good, there are several locks of the same type to be ordered and then, for example, of two defkten make a salvation, especially since it is easy to unscrew this optical assembly.
- Mount the wheel
Very thoughtful! The holder is secured by two screws (terminals) to the seat post, which includes an optional rubber is provided, for various diameters. Smart enough, is quite stable element which allows you to hook the cable in the bracket quickly provided with a locking screw, so that the distance on the cable and the angle optimal fit can be adjusted. Also unhooking by pressing the red button is impeccable.
Now for a vulnerability:
The plastic cone between combination lock pin and cable over the years brittle or slips towards the cable from. This affects the functionality significantly. But there is a remedy that I recommend for the new castle, not only after plastic parts are broken out:
4 cm shrink tube 24/6 mm 4: 1 with adhesive of foxytec (ebay) upward push and shrink with candle flame. This prevents breakage at additional cost the equivalent of 0.40.
Probably also works shrink tubing with adhesive 24mm black 0,6m 4: 1
