That’s around the equivalent of a 1.5m-long set of bolt croppers operated by a couple of contestants from World’s Strongest Man. Tensile pull test

first of all thank you a lot for this massively informative post and your effort answering all these questions! And btw: nice name! 😉 The Homie, at 1.5m long, is designed to thread through multiple bikes, and as the name suggests, is for home use. Links: Chains are made up of links; hoops joined together.

I’m really sorry to hear your bike was stolen. But I would say three things in response to your comments: That’s not to say it’s not a useful article! I think it is. I learned a lot from it. And I’ll be investigating further some of the information in it. And while it's not cheap, the high build quality means that not only is it very secure, it's also extremely reliable. Beyond this it displays the usual Abus high build quality which means it will be dependable in all weather conditions and should last many years to come. To keep the cost down there's no frame mount supplied with the Mason. But you can buy one separately. And it's highly adjustable so you should be able to find a position that works on any bike.

And it comes with a steel cable to secure your other wheel. Although these cables can be cut very easily, they do provide some (mostly psychological!) protection. The real advantage the Brute has over its rivals is in the price.

Moreover, the fantastic build quality guarantees long term reliability, and it comes with a choice from two of the very best frame mounts. Nearly ten years later and the situation has changed. In some towns and cities, it feels like every bike thief is using an angle grinder.
