Frame lock for 2022 Vado 5.0 (not SL)

[Tintin]

Hi there,

I have a 2022 Vado 5.0 (not SL, see picture)

and would like to install a frame lock (café style) something like the lock in the picture below.

Any suggestions of a model frame lock that will fit in this bike?
Thanks!

Abus 5755L works, as does the 4750X (not the XL)

Great! Thank you so much.

Great! Thank you so much.

You’re welcome.

Think about key retaining (R) vs non-retaining (NR).

I wanted the retaining version and had to order it from Amazon.de shipped to the US.

Good to know! Thanks!

I thought I read somewhere the 5750L NR which was 78mm opening would also work? I've got one on order and will attempt to follow up when it does arrive. I tried to order the model that Guru posted, but I couldn't find it easily....I was too lazy to email abus however.

Any preference for one model of lock over another? (If so why?)

I can see there is a hole for a chain to be added. Do you know if any ABUS chain work? Or do I have to order a specific one?

Thanks!

I chose the 5755L because it is smaller than the 4750X - see the technical drawings on the Abus website(s) - and that the 5755L uses the higher tier Xplus cylinder / key while I believe the 4750X is just the Plus cylinder.

AFAIK the chains are cross compatible.

Super! Those were the thoughts I had when looking at the photos and the specs of the locks.
Thanks so much!

I got the Abus 5750 - Large.

It fits and works well on my 2022 Turbo Vado 4.0

I chose it as, based on reviews at the time, it's was the one that I was most confident would fit/work

 

[gpburdell]

Yep, 5750L will also work - difference between it and the 5755L is the Plus lock cylinder/key vs the XPlus lock cylinder/key.

Do the 5750L / 5755L require removal of the rear wheel or fender to install the lock?

Not mine

Thanks for responding!
Is yours a 5755L or the different 4750X? I think I saw a post from you indicating the latter.
The 5755L looks a bit less clunky than the 4750X but not sure I want to bother with removing the wheel to install it, if tha5 is needed.
If yours is the 4750X, does it rattle when riding? That would drive me bonkers, I think! Trying to iron out these details because these locks can’t be returned for free…

5755L needed the wheel removed but not the fender since it’s a little smaller.

wheel removal is easy to do, and you ought to practice at home anyway before you find you need to fix a flat away from home.

You can install the 5755L without removing the rear wheel if you deflate the tire.
