I had read the Abus Bordo X Plus without gumming. This has done me good service 1.5 years but then the bike I was unfortunately stolen along with the castle. Absolute security also offers this castle hardly. I ride therefore now a two-way backup.
When I'm on the road my bike is fixed with the Bordo to the frame at any bicycle. This is absolutely not a problem and even for beginners feasible.
For this I use such a cable of Kryptonite in order to fix the front of the castle also.

In my job I have to a Kryptonite chain lock Fahgettaboudit 3'3 ", black, 3,500,135 fixed deposits.
Unfortunately, this is ideal as a location-lock because of the weight and for normal use too heavy (5kg).

For Abus Bordo X Plus 2011:
Was clearly improved the bracket. Whereas previously the rubber sheath barely held on the frame, because the screws are easy fringed through the holes in a strong jolt (I have the problem after two drop then dissolved with 2 metal plates from the hardware store for 10 cents), can be found there today a massive steel plate , To keep the screws the plastic bag reliably to the bicycle frame. Through the rubber coating the steel members are all a bit stiffer in the castle, actually protects against scratching the frame - but also unfortunately strainer in contact with the bicycle chain. At rubber remains Kettenfett / graphite / etc. better than hanging on smooth steel) so care when connecting. Otherwise, as the old Abus Bordo legally compliant lock, super compact and mountable on a bicycle with fairly good level of security. DC 3 keys (the lamp history is unnecessary and MMN. A pure Gesichtswischerei as the alleged enclosed bike insurance with Kryptonite) are probably sufficient for everyone.
Unfortunately, the price has risen disproportionately. The only changes are the rubber and the holder. Therefore I 1 point deduction and anyway before 4 because of the restricted security.
