folding locks, any good?
Posted: October 15th, 2009 | Author: newamsterdamize | Filed under: accessories, questions, ride | 1 Comment »in new amsterdam, there’s only one way to secure your ride – “the chain.” wether it be On Guard, Kryptonite, Abus or a rinky-dinky home improvement brand chain, new amsterdam lives by the chain.
with a new ride in the family, i’m interested in a lock i don’t see too often – the folding lock from OnGuard (top) or Abus (bottom). on the whole, Abus and OnGuard look like spitting images of each other, but i’m really wondering wondering how they stack up against the chain.
according to the british bike site, bikeradar.com, the Abus folding lock has three stars and the OnGuard isn’t rated. so how do these things stack up against the chain gang?
The ABUS one is the original which they launched about 4 years ago. The Onguard one is a very poorly made copy of that! Check out youtube “Bordo copy onguard” You will freak out!!
