Are there any metallurgists in the house?
Would generic 13mm grade 80 chain be a better or worse option than say 10mm chain sold specifically as part of a lock, for security purposes obviously. I'm guessing unless stated otherwise random chain won't go through the same hardening processes but would the increased diameter offset that enough?

Had 2 bikes stolen last night from West Norwood. They were locked in my garden
Koga Miyata Road Speed L
Mongoose Maurice 2010Not holding out much hope. But if anyone spots either of them being sold please mail me at
Thanks guys. Really gutted about the Koga.. I loved it. :(
Any further specifics? Colours etc and any usual spec changes.
Also were they locked at all, it's useful for us all to know which locks are vulnerable

Fucking ada.
Looks like they did a nice clean job and you'll have a good scar/story to tell. But do make sure to pursue the relevant person (it's the passenger in this case? law says you have to look before opening door etc) for your injuries and your bike. No need to ride cracked carbon and risk anything worse.

Both yellow and both marked "40/130HB140" on the ends, I looked in/at evans and some other places for the red ones at the time and they are packaged identical and seem to be identical?
The lock engages on both ends of the U part and that is shaped to not twist so would need to cut it twice, does that effect bolt croppers?
Bikes aren't super valuable atm, run down mtb and beaters but whenever I can get the gf to say ok to taking up more space will be buying a dolan precursa to build up. Have to be honest tho anything that has had a clean will have some magpie scrote after it.
As wapiti said, the non-round section is useful since it's two cuts and twice the hassle/time/chance of getting caught for thieves.
You're right and anything with a known brand (so the big names) or hipster tax (dolan, 531, the like) will be especially targeted

Eh there was some confusion in either this thread or secondary locks about the two models, apparently some people found one smaller than the other, but the abus website implies it's only a colour difference. Do you have both colours? Are they identical?
In any case at 14mm as stated there they'll be classed as secondary locks by the criteria here, as they are hand bolt-croppable, but in fairness probably better than what lots of people use for primary. Depending on worth of your new bike and risk of locking you might upgrade one to 16-18mm, or that fancy square section abus.
