Re: [RBW] Re: Locking Up your Riv

[Robert Tilley]

I don't use my Riv's for errands but lock up my fairly expensive e-cargo bike regularly. I was using a Kryptonite NYC chain which is very heavy but have recently started using a combination of an Abus Bordo lock along with one of the new Tigr steel locks. This is much lighter than what I was previously carrying and so far my bike hasn't been stolen.  Both locks have bottle cage mounts but using those would prevent mounting a bottle cage.

Option 1: Pewag 7mm Square Security Chain: 6’ length: 4.5 lbs Option 2:  Pewag 10mm Square Security Chain: 6’ length: 9.9 lbs The trade-off is weight vs. security. I recently tried a 12mm chain but it was nearly 15 pounds! Two Kryptonite U-locks weigh 8.9 lbs. Thoughts, suggestions, experience? How have other folks have resolved the security-to-weight equation?

The Bordo is great since it's more substantial than any cable lock (in that bolt cutters won't be enough to get through it). I use it as the sole lock only in "light" lockup situations (areas I feel safe in and for short periods of time). I live in SF, so usually my lockup situations are "heavy" such that the Bordo is supplementary to at least one U-lock and I have to strongly consider whether I can lock up the bike at all. In summary, it's a great lock whether it's the only lock needed or one of several needed.  On Wednesday, May 27, 2020 at 9:04:50 AM UTC-7, Vincent Tamer wrote: So I notice the Abus Bordo came back in stock on the Riv site. Does anyone have any experience with this lock? I've been considering it because I wanted a quick lock up lock for my Clem Smith opposed to my ulock and cable.  I also wanted to support Riv. :) What do you all use in the various conditions that you lock your bike up in? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
