    The full-size and strong Blackburn Folsom U-lock uses a hexagonal shackle shape and dual-bolt design to supply security for your bike.

    • 14mm-thick steel shackle features a hexagonal shape to prevent the shackle from spinning, increasing resistance to cutting and leverage attacks
    • Dual-bolt lock mechanism engages the shackles on both ends to maximize bump- and pick-resistance
    • Lining helps protect your bike's finish from scratches and scuffs
    • The Blackburn Folsom U-lock comes with 3 laser-cut keys and a mounting bracket

    Please note: Blackburn products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

    Imported.

    Comments about Blackburn Folsom U-Lock:

    This is not a 14mm shackle. It is 14mm including the rubber coating. Since it is hexagonal I can measure 2 ways: min=10mm, max=12mm. I personally wouldn't take this on a multi-city bike tour where loosing the bike would ruin the trip even though weight (or lack thereof) is crucial on such a trip. I will stick to my 18mm shackle 2.5kg Magnum lock. You just can't get by with less weight (except by shortening the shackle, but that would still be about 2kg).

    The question really comes down to whether it can be cut with bolt cutters, and if not, how long does it take to saw off without power tools. My choice would be 13mm mini ulock for around town, or 18mm for leaving the bike for an extended period.
