nice publicity right on bikeradar, not a big fan of bikeradar, but having you there will help you. Good lock! *get it? good luck? pah, nevermind.. :p

Beat me to it... Dammit

Also does anyone have an answer to

What's the burning point of the fabric? Could you not just fluff it up with a saw then burn a patch away?

I'm pretty sure Kevlar isn't particularly flammable.

It's a shame this didn't come out last year, NESTA was running a competition for around £35k for a new lock design... it ended up going to something that for all intensive purposes is useless (BikLox). This I suspect could of potentially won it.

Might be worth contacting BikeWorks I believe they rehabilitate bike thieves from time to time so they might be able to give it a real test, the tests in the video aren't particularly impressive as it doesn't look like your trying to break your product (why would you as the designer?).

Good luck with the kickstarter, if things don't work out shoot me a PM.

I'm pretty sure Kevlar isn't particularly flammable.

Just wikied it: max 400°C, and very sensitive to UV.
Why burn it ,when a pair of scissors can easily cut through it.

Integrating the kevlar in the lock might be a good way round.
A cable with some kevlar braids, would prevent direct access to the kevlar,
and stave off any power tool.
Needs a protection against UV.
