Hi Vincent, I have Abus Bordo and Kryptonite U (short and regular-- I can't remember the particular model names).
I prefer the Kryptonite U locks, as they are much easier and faster to lock up a bicycle. I was attracted to the folding mechanism as a compact, easy way to lock up. Bordo is compact, but fiddly. The rivet-construction means that it is not quite as easy to manipulate around bike racks/poles as I imagined. Threading Bordo through wheel+frame+rack can be frustrating, when I know a regular U lock would be straightforward/easy. I lock up in Boston area. I have pitlocks on my seat post and wheels. I don't worry about my wheels getting stolen and sometimes lock only the frame to bike rack. (My criticism of Bordo is on usability. For my purposes, I think it's approx equivalent protection as U lock.) Good luck! shoji Arlington MA On Wednesday, May 27, 2020 at 12:04:50 PM UTC-4, Vincent Tamer wrote: > > So I notice the Abus Bordo came back in stock on the Riv site.
