SOLD SECURE ratings are ratings from a private company, that I feel could be influenced by financial inducements from the larger companies. It would explain how some rope locks get high ratings.
As regarding the cheap lock I bought, I also have said that I believe the weak point would be the base. That said, so to was the Trelock BS610. And Trelock is an excellent company.
But how difficult would it be, or expensive, to make a U-lock? In China, steel is relatively cheap, and bending cut rolls of steel is simplicity itself. The square shape, for that price, is the clincher. Still not comparable to a Fagh. But its better than a rope lock, and thick enough to put of those with the smaller bolt cutters. Therefore, its not bad.
