Can't wait for you to review and do destruction testing on the Skunk Lock Carbon! Looking forward to that video! Would you cut through that lock's crossbar as well? I would like to know if the crossbar also has the anti grinder properties.
Yep, we’ll target all areas of the lock. From inspection it appears the locking mechanism is protected with the same grinder-resistant material as the shackle. Time will tell!
I think the cable extensions sold with these locks are great additions to your bike's overall security when they're utilised correctly. However, many cyclists seem to think the cables supplied offer the same security as the actual lock itself, and you often see bikes locked to immovable objects that are too large for the U-lock to encompass with the cable alone and the U-lock being used to secure either end. If used as stated above, you're right, they're an obvious weak point, but that's because they're not being utilised properly. I recently produced a short covering this and showcasing how to use a cable extension properly - ua-cam.com/users/shorts6hfFKqGGqIk?si=lYgnbI-ubK9LZUmr Thanks for watching & have a great weekend!
I saw the Via Velo U-lock online that has a 14mm shackle and is a little more than 7 inches long. Comes with a cable. What do you think of that lock? It's well below $20
@@bikelockwiki Got you. The worst videos of bikes thieves I have seen on YT are actually from England. The police there even seems to let them keep the stolen bikes and gives them their angle cutters back. I'm referring in particular to a video from Brighton and many from London.

Good information
What do you think about the cable that comes with most of these u-locks? That seems like the weak point.
