I can’t explain it, but this was a surprisingly fun lock to pick, even if it’s a bit awkward to get in a vice! 😃👍🔐

Awesome picking there, Ash! Thank-you. 🙂👍 I really must look out for some reasonably decent wafer locks and try them out.

Pretty cool lock, and excellent picking as always Ash! Love tuning in for each video 👍👍😁😁

Hi Lock Noob. I've never picked one of these, but some wafer locks have "wedge" shaped wafers on the part of the wafer that does the locking, and some have serrations as you mentioned. Wedge shaped wafers do cause the core or plug to counter rotate as they are pressed to the shearline ( allowing picked wafers to "fall" or become "unpicked" ) Both serrated or wedge shaped wafers are trickier to pick than "straight" wafers of course, so well done!

P.S. Should have said with wedge shaped wafers, the top and bottom wafer housings in the core are wedge shaped as well.

These type of locks was very common when I grew up in Norway back in the 70s and 80s and bikes usually came with them already fitted. Most of them had simple warded mechanisms. Yet stolen bikes was rare. People driving around in a van scooping up bikes just wasn't a thing.

Abus do build their locks really well. You could wear that key like a sword it is that long : )

Hi everyone can a AXA or ABUS lock similar to this, can The wafers or pins be damaged if not lock picked correctly please. Great video thankyou.

Ha - I'm in the Netherlands where LITERALLY ~80% of bikes have this lock. I tried to pick one a few years ago, got frustrated, and just destroyed it :)

Yeah, in Germany as well. At least on less expensive bikes. Quite effective , if someone just wants to steal a bike for riding somewhere.

@@LockNoob I guess, they are never picked by a thief. The bikes are just carried away. I think, the resist bolt cutters and similar means better than most cabel locks.

Nice pick! You're quite adept at flipping that pick to change direction. What are your thoughts on those wafer picks that pick both sides at once (designed for automotive doors I think) ? As for the lock...it needs some way of mounting or attaching it to the bicycle.

If you look at the slots on the sides inside of the lock, that is how it is mounted. Most bikes (in the Netherlands at least, but I assume more of Europe) have the ability to mount these. They don't need to be securely held, just held in position. When it's locked, the back wheel is tied to the frame. I think these are actually one of the best locks for bikes. I wish they were generally available in North America. I bought one to put on my bike along with some mounted clamps, but the geometry just doesn't work unfortunately.

@@parapicktog7734 It's not a massive difference between bikes. There some hardpoints on my frame for mounting accessories that interferes with where the clamps need to be attached. In Europe, the bikes would have a mounting hole in the right spots like a water bottle cages.
