Hmmm, that is a little troubling.. I'd never have thought a bike thief would think to use a key to get into a lock. Would be good to hear from anyone else if they've had an issue with the X4. I'd still say it's a solid lock, and combined with the fahg mini (and a Xena alarm if left longer than half an hour) I feel relatively secure... well, as secure as you can feel with all the thieving scum in London.
On a separate note, my girlfriend's just bought a bike and is in need of a lock. Other than getting something solid, her main concern is portability. She rarely rides with a bag and I can't see her persevering with a mini fahg + Fabric Horse holster, so she wants to get a frame mounted u lock... Krypto mounting brackets don't seem to get the best of reviews, and as I say, the Brute X4's bracket is dire.... are there any solid 16mm+ U locks that have decent frame mounting brackets?
People seem to rate the bracket on the Abus Granit X-Plus 54, and although only 13mm thick, seems to have the resistance of thicker locks. Any other suggestions... does the GRP Superdeals U-Lock come with a decent bracket?

Had a question about one of the comments on the first page... next to the Onguard Brute X4 it's got "[WARNING: Issued key combinations are too few.]".... I'm probably being massively dense here, but what exactly is the issue? "Key combinations are too few"... what does that mean, and how does it negatively effect the lock? I've got the Brute X4 and have had no issues with it so far.. seems like a very sturdy lock at a great price (I use it in combination with a mini fahg). The only real negative is that the mounting bracket is awful, but I wouldn't use it anyway as I just stick it in my bag.
Also, I know it's only recommended on here as a secondary lock, but a word of warning about the Abus Steel-O-Flex Granit X-Plus 1050... my mate's bike was stolen last night (I won't say what bike it was because I know the thieving little f*ckers monitor this site to see how hard people are looking for stolen bikes - I've made that mistake myself), and he was using the Steel-O-Flex as the only lock... I know, I know.. he should have been using an minimum 16mm U-lock as the primary, but he'd literally only left it for one minute, and it had been cropped in that short a time.. lock was just left behind cut in half. I see loads of bikes only locked with a Steel-O-Flex or an equivalent cable lock, but you should honestly heed the warnings, it just isn't worth the risk...
