Folding lock. Plates, hinges, mount on the frame. This is not a chain in miniature.
Message about this folding lockPlates and hinges, not a chain
A folding lock is steel plates with hinges, in a mount on the frame, unfolded around a pole. Popular on e-bikes because it does not rattle in a bag. Cheap hinge work is finished in Amsterdam within a season — bolt cutters, or just snapped on the quay.
Abus Bordo is the measure
Abus Bordo is the measure. Granit or 6500 if you want ART, 6000 if the budget is tighter but you do not want a toy. AXA Fold and Trelock FS sit on the same shelf if the hinges and the cylinder check out.
Mount on the frame
Length: too short for a canal pole plus your fork. Too long is clumsy on the frame and an extra hinge to attack. Photo of your mount on WhatsApp; not every hole is Bordo.
Cut the lock, not the battery
We open seized folding locks. Often the cylinder, sometimes a plate jammed crooked in the mount. We cut the lock, not your carbon or your battery bay.
Sometimes a chain is smarter
After cutting: a new Bordo plus mount, or we say you are better off with a chain for how you rack. No upsell, just the city.
Bordo yes or no
WhatsApp: folding lock, Bordo yes/no, e-bike or city. Price on site.
