Hey - what a great thread for bike security, actual usage information is hard to find on the web with every manufacturer touting their 8mm locks as impenetrable. I bought an Abus X-Plus Citychain 1060 to as my primary lock and haven't had any trouble, but then it is off the ground in an OK area and attached to an old clunker (with Pitlocks after a couple of seats went missing!)
As it's time to upgrade, I'm looking at a Van Moof 5 with the Abus lock actually attached in the frame (http://bit.ly/dTNxPn, but after reading posts here it seems this will be good only as a secondary lock. As the bike will be locked up outside to railings overnight, do you think a Fah Mini or an Almax IV would be the best protection? I'd leave it attached to the railings during the day... but it seems chains draping on the ground don't stand much of a chance judging by Youtube videos!
