    Abus 5750 Frame Lock / Turbo Como frustration

    Live in Seattle for about six years circa 1980, loved it. Iceland is near the top of our travel list, especially for the aurora borealis.

    Abus 5750 Frame Lock / Turbo Como frustration

    I really like how easy it is to tighten, nice design. (Hey seriously, PM me a PayPal account & I'll give you a tip! This saved me a lot of aggravation and mental energy thinking about improving the cable-tie hack.).

    Abus 5750 Frame Lock / Turbo Como frustration

    Well, I owe you a beer or coffee or whatever. That Axa mounting kit worked perfectly and I just ordered another one to replace the cable tie hack on my bike. Thanks!!! (Going to try to fold the straps neatly rather than cutting them off since it may not be possible to reinstall with short...

Heard about the zip ties, wasn't keen on relying on their integrity over time, but while typing this I remembered there...

    Abus 5750 Frame Lock / Turbo Como frustration

    Well this is disappointing. Not previously having seen threads here on the Abus 5750 frame locks and the Turbo Como & Vado, I ordered two of them for our Como 3.0s (I have the regular, wife has the step-through). We wanted them keyed-alike, and they had to be ordered from Germany because my...
