Chic, minimalist lock. Makes a stable impression. The 85 cm length is usually sufficient.

I was very satisfied at first. Unfortunately, the bracket supplied broke after a short time. Very susceptible to dirt (mechanics) when mounted on the bike. I have now changed to a Kryptonite U-lock with an additional cable.

Unlike my predecessor, this lock is silent even on rough roads. It holds in place perfectly at the mounting point under my gravel frame. It won't stand up to a well-equipped and determined thief, but it should act as a deterrent in most situations.
The gimmick of being able to easily replace it with a bottle cage isn't useful to me, but could be if you use the same bike for urban commuting and intensive sport.
