I bought one of these for my daughter who is going off to college. Lots of bike theft on campus and I think this will be an excellent lock for her. Thank you for your review.
I just bought an ebike for commuting. It has a built in alarm. I have a Seatylock. I think I will add a Foldylock to the mix. I'm sure the determined thief will get through anything, but I can at least make it a pain in the butt for them.
The lock does have a coating on it. They say it's a plastic coating, in my hands it reminds me of the texture of line-x or bed liner, but I don't forsee it causing any scratches to my bikes
I’m awaiting the delivery of my e-bike and decided to use a three part defence. I have one of these on order plus a U lock and a cable. I’m hoping they will at least put off the opportunist thieves.
Great review. Man, you are passionate about all things bike-related. Q: Is it large enough for locking the front and rear tires together after removing the front one from the forks???
I believe they give the full extended length on their website, you could always take a tape measure out to that measurement and see if it'll work, I didn't have a problem with it being too short though.
Hi there, can you help me with a measurement please? Underneath my saddle I have a small space to mount the lock. On all the websites I can find measurements of the lock itself but I need the measurement of the lock holder. I see the compact itself is 6cm wide. How wide is the holder? The widest, on top, of the holder doesn’t need to get true. It’s complicated to explain in text🤪 Can you give me the measurement on how wide the holder is please?
I would say it should work with a fat bike, I still have some slack in the lock with my bikes. It'll probably be a little tighter locked up but I would think it should work.
The silicone buffers? Do you mean the carrying case that mounts to your frame? It's actually a plastic, 3d printed type material, I've ridden it off-road some and haven't had any issues with it rattling or coming loose.
@@YourFavoriteCyclist On their video ad, they mention that if I want to put the case anywhere on the frame that is NOT on the bottle cage boss I can, by using the silicone buffers (That's what they call them) on the back of the case. But do they really hold it in place?
Ah I know what you're talking about now. I went out and took it off my bottle cage mount and put the silicone buffer pieces on and velcroed it to my frame. For a velcro mount it's a pretty good setup, didn't seem to move around all that much. If you were going to be jumping off curbs or riding single track with it, it may slowly move around, but for the average rider it should hold it plenty secure.
@@YourFavoriteCyclist Ok, thank you. I appreciate it. And it's funny, the company just replied after I sent them an email recently and they showed me YOUR video, ha ha. Anyway, thank you again.
tell you what mate, i could invent the best bike lock in the world, catch the bike thieves bump them off till there are none left then you wouldnt need a bike lock. RIGHT SIMPLE.
Um, if your gonna do a bike lock review, dont ya think it would help to see how easy, or hard it is to get the lock off using, bolt cutters, grinder, bla bla bla??
There's plenty of other people on RUclips that take care of that aspect. I would much rather give products a long term review instead of attempting to destroy them immediately.
This is totally not an objective review. A paid actor couldn’t have been more enthusiastic. Even the best products have cons, what are the Foldlock’s cons? Is it security-rated by an independent organization?

Honestly probably the best lock thats going to be on campus haha!
Dude - you have a great speaking voice.
Thanks! Appreciate that!
Great video!
I have this lock! So easy..and yes its coated to avoid scratching!!!
Awesome!
Very good review, I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. Keep up your energy and confidence and I'm sure you'll make it!
Appreciate that! Thank you!

Pretty much the best you can do nowadays.
Thank you for this, as I am contemplating this lock.
It's a great lock, can't go wrong getting it!
just bought the foldylock forever for my rad runner
👍
Super cool product !
Great video...!
Does the lock have any kind of coating on it so it won’t scratch??

Thank you for review! It helped me a lot! :)
Glad I could help!
Great video my guy and great positive energy. Subd 👊🏿💯🇬🇧
Thank you! 🤘
I'm glad they sent you one for free cuz they are way expensive.
I use a seat lock AND a NYC Fuggetaboutit lock. I had my $6,000 bike stolen last year with a regular cable chain and I aint taking any chances!
I’m awaiting the delivery of my e-bike and decided to use a three part defence. I have one of these on order plus a U lock and a cable. I’m hoping they will at least put off the opportunist thieves.
3 locks should provide plenty of theft deterrent!
these folding locks give you more options to lock to than a narrow U-Lock (so tree, wide post, etc.)
Is this lock still worth getting?
Yep it's pretty much my go to lock nowadays.
Great review. Man, you are passionate about all things bike-related. Q: Is it large enough for locking the front and rear tires together after removing the front one from the forks???
You should have no problem fitting it around everything with the front tire removed, it will for sure hold everything tight together.
Until portable angle grinder appears, good protection but still only for the short stops in crowdy places.
Locks just keep honest people honest
I want to order one but I’m worried it’s to short

So measuring mine the compact itself is 58mm wide, the bracket with the lock in it is 60mm wide
@@YourFavoriteCyclist thx!
My only problem with this lock is the price, why does it cost $85.00?
Does it wrap around fat tire bikes
I would say it should work with a fat bike, I still have some slack in the lock with my bikes. It'll probably be a little tighter locked up but I would think it should work.
@@YourFavoriteCyclist thank you great video!
Do the silicone buffers really hold that lock in place?
