My new Litelok One lock is here

Still made in the UK, but these days shipped from a warehouse in Netherlands to me in Germany

So much Brexit winning!

Now mounted on the Birdy. The only problem is it’s going to get dirty here…

But this lock is 0.5kg lighter than the Abus Bordo I had before, and importantly is much easier to handle than a Bordo.

@jon I'm going to have to go and buy one to replace my Abus 8210 now I have FOMO

@8lettersuk This is what I had: https://mobil.abus.com/usa/on-road/Locks/Folding-Locks/BORDO-GRANIT-XPlus-6500-85-black-SH

It's secure, sure. But the folding bits get caught on spokes, frame etc. every single time you lock your bike...

@jon oh yeah that looks like a design waiting for a purpose. In no way does that look useful as a lock.
@8lettersuk The idea *in theory* is neat - folding metal bars. The problem is the hinge thingies between each bar get caught on things *all the time*, however careful you are about how you hold the lock. Maybe on a bike with bigger wheels it's OK, but on the folding bike it's hell.
@jon oh yeah small wheels - ugh I can imagine that was not a good combination at all   still you now have a shint new lock so keeping it secure can be easy again
