Length: The castle is sufficiently long in order to connect the rear tire and frame bar with a lamppost or other pile.
Links: The links are hidden under the protective mantle (paintwork) and feel sufficiently thick. So far, the bike is still there.
Mechanism: Unfortunately, the lock jammed something in the beginning. But WD40 helps. Would I from at every lock from ABUS and recommended, just to prolong the service life of the key.
Conclusion: Despite the known key problem, a very robust and good lock.
