Really good bike lock

I have quite an expensive cross bike risen this year and wanted to ensure a reasonably secure lock. The idea with the ABUS folding lock I came because I eventually saw on television a report, were tested in the bicycle locks and Folding came here really very good way.
Sure, if it a really daring enough, he gets every lock cracked. If necessary he flexes from the lamppost to which I chained my bike. The question ultimately arises just how (time) consuming it is, a lock pick. This castle does a really quite safe, sophisticated impression.
The wheels of the combination of numbers run very easily with me and can be adjusted very precisely. Clear, I can imagine that the wheels run harder when the wheel including Castle exposes the rain more often and for a long time, but who is already a really good bike a long time the weather like?
Why did I chose the model with number combination, is obvious. For my old bike I had a normal ring lock with key (chen) and I must always look - before I moved away and when I wanted to finish the wheel. The problem I have now no longer! But who has concerns with combination locks, let me tell you that ABUS also offers a folding lock with key. That's slightly cheaper to my knowledge even.

Pleasant is the coating of the castle. Scratching the frame is actually impossible. Unlike a padlock is the folding lock when folded more compact and maintenance easy and flexible.
For the length of 90 cm you should absolutely make a decision. The castle is also available even shorter, then it will be difficult, however, depending on where you want to chain the bike or if you want together two bicycles chains. There is also a version with 120 cm. The thing I had the bike shop already in hand. In the then still the bars slightly thicker (higher security level), making it incredibly difficult and unwieldy the castle, and there is clearly reflected in the price.
On the handling of the castle you have to get used to. If you pick up the thing from the quiver, the folded inner rods fold in the same and smack down when you're not careful. Of course, riveted bars are not as flexible as a steel cable or a chain, but when you get used to the thing, completing works great.
What I find amazing is that the lock when folded is very compact and can be screwed with the supplied rubber quiver at the bottle holder device. Here, however, one has to keep in mind: The castle itself is so long around the 25 cm. Just so long is the quiver. In order to pull the castle straight out of the quiver you would need about half a meter space on the bike between the lower edge of the lock holder and the next bike rack. Now it comes down to where the screws are placed on the bottle holder. For me it is already tight. I always have to turn slightly to the side of the rubber sleeve, if I want to pull out the lock or plug it in again. This is a bit annoying. For emergencies in the delivery is still a breits elastic Velcro included, which allows you to attach the quiver of a frame bar.
What one also has to be clear: This castle is really quite difficult. Who pays meticulous when buying a bike on the weight of his bikes, so the thing is possible, athletic and fast, the bangs with this lock the same again a kilo ballast to the frame

Overall, a really good, practical and valent Castle, which is offered here at a very interesting price. I would buy it immediately.
