Best Lock to Buy?

Hi don't want to hijack the thread but which is stronger/better a mini evo or a abus steel o flex 1000 cable?

I ask because I was in london this weekend and saw how many bikes are locked up with the abus and thought the mini would be a more (cheaper) secure choice??

my gf who now lives and rides in london uses a mini evo for back wheel (sheldon style) and a krytoflex cable and pitlocks for front wheel. is this enough? im thinking of getting her a new york mini or another evo mini. has anyone had a biked nicked with an evo mini?

I hardly see the Master Lock Street Cuff mentioned.

Is this model or the more heavy duty version any good?

no good, i got fat wrists

I'll stand by the Onguard Mini Bulldog.
It's just a a centimeter longer than the krypto evo mini but is double locking, only costs £25 and is basically rocking.
I've got a krypto evo mini and one of those.

obviously an angle grinder will churn through it speedily but, it's inexpensive and good quality.

abus granite plus seem to perform equally good if not better than kryptonite

Just a quick nod to a good source for kryptonite locks (cheapest for both when I bought mine):

ridiculously cheap evolution mini here

go for it, my girlfriend just brought one yesterday, told her it's the best lock to get.

Abus Granit-X plus D-lock through frame and back wheel and cable lock upfront is the way to go if you ask me. I couldn't find anything on google about breaking one of them...

The good Kryptonites are probably just as good too.

I wouldn't use a cable lock as my main lock, I don't think any cable lock would stand up to a pair of bolt-cutters for long.

Nothing with a barrel lock, nothing with a combination lock, and don't leave any room in your d-lock for a car-jack or whatever. Probably the best you can do really.

that is my locking rig..

the abus granit x plus is well respected, but weighs literally a ton.
i dont mind so much since the extra weight keep me fitter, but it might put a lot of others off.

is that in reference to the evo mini or the NY mini u lock?

is my gf's current security setup skating on thin ice or is it enough? if i had to get another u lock i'd prefer another evo mini to be honest. i havent heard of anyone having the mini evo broken into. seems a legit option.
