Thanks for the independent destruction testing of the Foldylock Compact (the top one is only by the manufacturer themselves)! This is so good.

@bikelockwiki 7 месяцев назад

Exactly what we’re here for! Thanks for watching :)

@jeffreyschmitz6403 2 месяца назад

One rarely mentioned feature that I love about the fully lock compact is that two or more can lock together which makes it really nice when I'm out for a ride with my wife. Two together provides a substantial length lock that's easy to lock two bikes with.

@bikelockwiki 2 месяца назад

This is true, and even Seatylock don't mention it much.

@michaelkulman7095 11 дней назад

That's a good point! Carrying two is going to be less awkward than other designs.

@chaxologist2961 9 месяцев назад

First! Just bought a Foldylock Compact of the same blue color last week to further complement my multi-lock setup with the the Mason U-lock and Viking Chain lock which makes it easy to color-code my different Seatylock keys on the same keychain! Has buttery-smooth locking mechanism like the other 2 locks. Great as a primary cafe lock and a fantastic secondary lock to secure my electric scooter for over an hour especially for my up and coming new Segway Ninebot F2 Pro e-scooter!

@bikelockwiki 9 месяцев назад

The locking mechanism is a dream. I probably didn't give it enough credit in this review!

@michaelkulman7095 11 дней назад

I like that you used two different sizes of bolt cutters as I'm more worried about attacks with the smaller one, which I feel more thieves will carry. I see each as a different benchmark test that I care about. I might still buy a lock that the big one cut but the small one didn't, in some circumstances. With your hammer testing I feel most are going to direct their blows at the locking mechanism not the joints. I think this is true with all lock types. I would have liked to see a prying test especially with crowbars, used in pairs, that fit in a back pack at least or like with the bolt cutters the smaller and bigger ones. Again I'm more worried about the smaller tools though and see each as their own benchmark. I enjoyed the video and it showed why these locks are so much better than cable locks but that you still should consider a grinder resistant D or U lock possibly with a folding lock on the front wheel to frame or where the U or D doesn't fit as a backup. I believe besides being better than cable these folders weigh less than 5/16" thick security chain with a lock and are easier to store. They have their place. Alone for moderate security or in addition to a good D or U lock. A great alternative to cable and even security chain. I was impressed at the resistance to bolt cutters!

@bikelockwiki 11 дней назад

The hammer testing that we conducted in this review targeted rivets since they're a weak point on folding locks. In one of our other reviews the metal around the rivet of the ABUS Bordo 6000 split, didn't completely fail, but showed why we target this area. Yes, I agree regarding prying; we've implemented this test into our more recent videos, so you'll see more of this moving forward! Thanks for watching:)

@Dazdigo 9 месяцев назад

You should get a hydraulic bolt cutter. They are smaller than traditional cutters and can apply a lot more force with less effort.

@bikelockwiki 9 месяцев назад

Will be getting hold of one soon. I'm looking for something that will allow me to record a precise reading of the pressure exerted upon failure.

@Doc.Holiday 7 месяцев назад

@@bikelockwikiI second that! I know you purchased one and look forward to future content. Thieves used one to steal my last bike. I just purchased a large Mason Hex Mason. I’d like to know if it will survive a hydraulic bolt cutter attack. Grinders are their own alarm. I can defend against them.

@bikelockwiki 7 месяцев назад

@@Doc.Holiday it definitely would survive against a standard hydraulic cutter. I’ve tested my recent cutters against a 5mm folding lock, and the cutter’s blades warped. I opted for a higher quality cutter as well 🤷🏻‍♂️ Could have been old blades. We shall find out how good hydraulic cutters actually are when I review the best cheap bike locks!

@StephenDannatt-vn3pi 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the video a great insight. I have just bought a Haibike e-bike and are looking to beef up my security and like the look of the foldylock at about £90 but it cut very easy with the angle grinder and spooked me . What lock would you recommend please

@bikelockwiki 4 месяца назад

For an e-bike you’ll want a lock with the Sold Secure Powered Cycle Gold or Diamond rating. Personally I’d go for a grinder resistant lock like the LITELOK X1, but the ABUS 54 Mini may also be a good option.

@bikelockwiki 4 месяца назад

If it’s grinder resistance you’re looking for, the LITELOK X1 and X3 are great along with the Hiplok D1000 and DX1000

@StephenDannatt-vn3pi 4 месяца назад

Epic video. Found it looking for a review on these cheap $30 folding locks. When i mountain bike in my state its a non issue. Im with my wife. So someone can watch the bike while the other goes to the bathroom. However im heading out of state to the mountains. My wife will not be riding down a mountain lol. So shes going to hike while i spend all day doing my thing... im thinking the cheap $30 ones will work okay just for me to walk away and get food or use the bathroom. Itll be at the base of the mountain with a ton of people everywhere. So mostly i need something to stop someone from just walking off with it like they own it. Which is exactly what they do during snowboard season. Someone will wait for you to place your board next to 20 others. Then just walk up and snatch it. I use a cheap $15 lock for my snowboard. And try to make sure i find more expensive boards to place it nex to. But anyway. Great video. Maybe in the end i will end up buying the Foldy for $60. Even though itll only be used a few times. No dirt cover does sort of suck though

@bikelockwiki 28 дней назад

Sounds like a folding lock is ideal for your situation with the bikes! Might be worth one of the combination zip tie locks for your board. Although as you’re doing, placing it next to a much nicer board is a great way to protect it 😂 Thanks for watching

@bakerdow9884 3 месяца назад

Which lock is truly resistant to angle grinders? Thanks

@bikelockwiki 3 месяца назад

The most resistant locks are the Litelok X3 and the Hiplok D1000, but with enough time these can still be cut

@bikelockwiki 26 дней назад

Angle grinders will defeat almost all locks that don’t use grinder protection. Hence the release of the new generation of anti-grinder locks. We’re working on a review for these. Hold tight.

You need to saw in weight, holding it in your hands without clamping it in a vice!!!1!

@bikelockwiki 4 месяца назад

The testing we conduct is designed to produce results that are more comparable. If we removed the vice there are more uncontrollables affecting our results. In short, the results we gather from testing are not supposed to reflect how a lock would perform on the street.

Thers always 2 when go to steal a bike thanks to RU-vid videos their learning the ways the locks are weak

@bikelockwiki 5 месяцев назад

RU-vid videos or not, thieves are going to steal bikes and will find their weaknesses regardless. It’s better to educate cyclists on what specific locks are designed for and how to use them appropriately.
