*I have watched many of his videos. He has often said that competent lock pickers do not often go for bikes, but more lucrative opportunities like cars and homes. I do believe he was very impressed with the Hiplok D1000 and the Litelok X3 but they are $300.00 locks. Maybe next year ...
That works.
I can imagine the thief giving up, sitting down and sucking his thumb.
The loop part of the hiplok DXC would probably take 5 minutes to cut with a battery angle grinder. The cable part appears to be no better than the master/amazon/ebay/bike-shop cables with extra flexible (tiny) wires that could be cut by a $20 7" diagonal cutter in about one minute. My SS mcmaster 1/2" sling would take 30 minutes to cut with 7" diagonal cutter. I tried cutting a SS cable the city left laying on the ground by a traffic light. Made of thick SS wires, cutting each wire individually took 6 minutes to cut one strand. There are 7 strands. I estimate a $50 harbor freight bolt cutter would be severly damaged by the mcmaster SS 1/2" sling. There is a $280 SS capable 1/2" cable cutter at mcmaster, but no thief is going to buy one of those since I'm the only person that ever used a SS 1/2" sling to secure a bicycle.
This cable might be the sleeper product to get. Would the 3/8" work close enough as I need it to roll up smaller than yours does? On looking more closely, the 3/8" is steel while yours is stainless steel. Does that matter?
I’d like to see a pic of this, the how you made the loop for the lock.
They come in different colors, which would be best?
Ya but then your e-bike goes straight to HellI'm a fan of the James Bond method of vehicle protection.
I believe the SS is the more cut resistant, similar to being tougher to drill, lack or carbon or something. If this link shows up you can see the SS coated ultraflexible cable, I think this is ready made looped but you should check. I don't see 1/2" in the 7 x 19, but the 3/8" fits the bill. Even has your different colored coatings
