    What if I told you there was a BRAND NEW anit-angle grinder bike lock 🔐 on the market? 🤔
    THE U-LOCK REIMAGINED
    All market-leading U-locks rattle, are heavy to carry and can be cut with an angle-grinder in seconds...Until now.
    The LITELOK X range is a new category of full-sized, armoured u-locks that offers bicycles, e-bikes and motorcycles unparalleled resistance against angle grinders without any extra weight. What’s more, they contain host of clever design features such as our universal ‘Twist & Go’ frame mount for quick release, reflective strips to keep you safe and seen, an integrated rattle-free design for quieter riding and a soft plant-based eco-rubber outer layer which won't damage your frame.
    The LITELOK X range is armoured with our patent pending Barronium™, a highly advanced and super hard ceramic composite material that is tougher than the grinder discs themselves. It repels angle grinder attacks by turning the grinder's energy and force in on itself. Continuous cutting wears down the grinder discs, batteries and ultimately the grinder motor itself. This gives LITELOK X up to 15 times more resistance than the current best-performing u-locks.
    Barronium™ is permanently fused to a hardened fine-grain high-tensile steel core which provides protection against all other commonly used tools such as bolt croppers, cable cutters, long bars, hammers and chisels. A unique anti-rotation feature protects against twisting attacks and single cuts.
    Accredited to Sold Secure Bicycle and Motorcycle Diamond level, LITELOK X locks will protect your bike against even the most determined bike thieves.

      Sure, lock the bike alone and disappear, it can be easily taken without hesitation for sure. But I like its chances parked next to a few good bikes with any lesser lock including Fahgettaboutit now. I've never had a bike stolen when parked next to a better bike with a lesser lock.

    Next time hold the grinder 'level' or inline with the plane of the blade once you develope a cut-slot (i.e., curf).
    In the video, just before the disk breaks (6:40 - 6:50ish), it is going through a significant amount of bending for each of thousands(?) of rpm. Most anything is going to break under this condition. This is also very likely to be the source of a lot of the grabbing you are getting. It still looks like the angle grinder is iffy.

    Apologies if someone has already mentioned this.
    Here in the UK the most important tool a "professional" bike thief has is what you would call a panel van.
    This means it's not how long it takes them to cut through the lock hasp, but how long it takes them to cut through the fence that the bike is locked to! The bike with the lock still attached then goes in the back of the van, the thief then attacks the lock in the comfort and seclusion of their workshop. These guys steal maybe 10 bikes a day, and they know which bikes are worth stealing.
    A bike lock has 2 functions
    1) It forces the "casual" thief to go steal someone else's bike.
    2) It demonstrates to your insurance company that you've taken reasonable precautions to prevent your bike from being stolen.
    Your bike is fully insured isn't it!

Here in germany I pay like 6€ a month for an insurance that will reimburse me the full new price of my bike if stolen.

As others have already commented, dude was flexing the hell out of the blade in the moments leading up to the blade breaking. Not something someone with lots of experience with that tool would do. I get the feeling that even if this is fairly resistant to cheapo cutoff wheels a diamond blade would zip right through it.

      @@truantray the lock industry isn’t a scam per say, it’s just that to make a truly unpick-able lock isn’t financially sound for lock companies. Just like making a lightbulb that doesn’t last for 200,000 hours+ isn’t sound for a light bulb manufacturer. Most locks are built around social compliance that 99.9% of people that see the lock won’t try to either pick it or break it. Then you have 0.01% left most of which is people who will try to break a lock and not pick it. 🤷🤔
      The fact is, if someone really really wants to take your bike, they’re gonna take it regardless of the lock. So best defence is to not leave your bike in a public area where it’s easily accessed, and if you have to lock it up in a public space rather than a private one, make it look as unappealing to a thief as possible.
      If I leave mine in a public space I use a kryptonite heavy chain lock to secure one side, plus a U lock to secure my front wheel both linked with a cable lock.

      Very questionable legality. I wouldn't use such security measures without consulting an attorney first. I know that's stupid, as a thief hurting themself in committing a crime should be their own fault, but this is premeditated to injure a thief during the same commission. Thieves have successfully sued places they tried to steal from after being injured during the commission, so you might be doing more harm to yourself by using such security measures than you would be helping yourself.
      Seek legal counsel before using such measures.

      100%, that's exactly why his cutting discs failed. You can easily see how warped the disc is while it's cutting because he's twisting the tool so much. This is a recipe for disaster when cutting ANY material.

    • @Speeder84XL
      @Speeder84XL 10 месяцев назад +3

      I observed that too. I was like "wtf, don't bend the tool upwards like that" - it's so clear on the video how the disc really warps and bends.
      "I can feel it grab the disc" - like that would be some property of the material - it's simply the disc getting pinched because of the bending. That's also why it got so hot (plastic coating to run off like wax 😂), since it behaves pretty much like a disc brake creating friction heating. The heat may help though - making the material somewhat softer and easier to cut. I have cut some hardened steel, that's cut slowly at first, but then suddenly the cutting speeds up and it gets as easy to cut as ordinary mild steel - it gets so hot by the friction heat that the material get annealed. But then it would be better to use a torch and then cut, than breaking the discs.

    If they were to put individual 10mm freely rotating outer shroud pieces all along U lock bar section, then the angle grinder would in effect just spin those pieces instead of cutting through them, meaning that the thief would effectively need three hands to cut the bar, 1 hand to hold the grinder, 1 hand to hold the lock in place and one hand to hold the spinning outer shroud section with pliers to avoid injury.

      Also - I wonder how a diamond blade would do. I got one for my big (230 mm angle grinder) that was labelled as "demolition disc" and cut pretty much everything.
      For mild steel and aluminium it cuts about the same speed as an normal disc but it lasts like 100 times longer. For really hard material, like hard fire bricks with high alumina content, it cuts significantly faster - those material can sometimes pulverize a standard disc after like 2 cuts.
      Now when I remember it, I also tried cutting ceramic tubes to the right length for an electric furnace that I built (those tubes are used to hold up the heating elements) with my small grinder (125 mm disc) that I don't have any diamond blades for. Those were so hard that a whole new disc got pulverized after one cut (and it was not "metal" discs, but labelled for cutting rock - although, the material of those seems very similar to the standard steel cutting ones, they are just thicker). Also I was not bending the disc, like he does in the video, and it was not exploding like it did for him - it was simply decreasing in diameter along with the cut and when the cut was done, there was almost nothing left of the disc, except a huge cloud of dust. A "metal" disc, disintegrated even faster. But my big grinder with a diamond blade cut those tubes easily, several times and the disc is still almost like new afterwards.

      It took 10 minutes and 10 discs to cut ONE side from what I've seen.
      The D1000 is $300, NOT $600.
      How is $300 "too much" when nice bikes - especially nice ebikes - are $4-6k, NOT $1k these days? When you spent $50 to protect an $800 bike 20 years ago, $300 for a $5k bike is actually a little less security money spent per bike dollar. The math checks out.
      Saw a $5k cargo ebike locked in the SF Bay Area with a basic, old tech lock recently. THIS is the perfect candidate for this new breed of locks.
      Yes, use GPS trackers. Yes, get insurance. Yes, be smart. But use the best lock!

      EVERYONE leaves a bike behind. I HATE the saying, "Oh, my bike's TOO NICE to lock!" No one is always with their bike.
      EVERY bike is left unattended, so EVERY BIKE SHOULD BE LOCKED! All 12 of my garaged bikes are locked right now. In a double-locked garage with beefed-up locks. And with active video surveillance 24/7. They're also all fully insured. Some have GPS trackers. And some of the locks have extra pipe sections attached for added security. (Yes, I'm kinda bonkers when it comes to bike security.)
      However, many are irreplaceable as they aren't made anymore, hand-made by a small builder and/or have custom paint, so it's important that I never lose a bike or have to collect on insurance in the first place.

      Zactly. I use cutoff blades all the time and in all the wrong ways.. I cut alloy, I polish, I cut channels sideways... I only destroy the blades if I load it sideways... and I've had them hot... cutting things like hardened steel etc. Stainless.. Brass. Plastic. even glass... Not to say I haven't destroyed a few disks... usually because I cut so deep the heat can shrink the slot and grab the cheeks...

      Or have both. Plus cover your bike and park it next to other bikes that aren't covered. Why? I saw on a BBC documentary, London bike thieves said they wouldn't target a covered bike, because they don't know what security is under the cover, and they don't know how long it will take them. So they target the bikes with no covers because they can evaluate how quickly they can steal it.
      The cover alone next to loads of bikes that aren't covered, would probably see the bike ignored, if not then they have a nasty surprise of grinder disc destroying hell waiting on them.

    I've been using the Abus xplus Granite(230mm) & mini Dlocks on my Ebike for years but have always had to worry about angle grinders, the few locks that could resist angle grinders tend to be thick Chain locks for Moterbikes. I plan to buy the LiteLok X3 as my main lock (through rear frame and wheel) lock and the LiteLok X as my second lock (through front forks and wheel). I need to apply for the underground cycle lock up parking, combined with these locks I think I can finally worry far less about some asshole with an angle grinder.
