BBB-41 Powerlock Bicycle Lock
I just bought a BBB-41 Powerlock Bicycle Lock,
which is a twinned multi-wire within a plastic enclosement. The diameter is 12 mm and the length is 180 cm. It is a "7" on a scale perhaps (?) designating overall difficulty to brake. The lock works with BBL-92 and -93 which appears to be fittings to hold bicycle gear on a/the bike, from the same manufacturer. You get three keys. Those are smaller than the ones I'm used to for this kind of size lock. Also, the keyhole doesn't have a lid so despite being small (the smaller keys, remember?) I suspect some water will make its way inside. When the temperature gets below zero (C), this could be a problem. The lock is made in China tho BBB Cycling is of the Netherlands. So no lack of manufacturing/bike experience The price is 289 SEK which I consider a standard deal for a quality lock. However it would still be interesting to hear what you pay, or would pay, for the same product. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

.5 inch is wide. We have a wider cabe look looks clumsy. Good math, or if you had that memorized: $ units '12 mm' inches * 0.47244094 / 2.1166667 Speaking of the HW store I also got a pair of bolt cutters and on one arm it says 600 [mm] and on the other 24". $ units '24 inches' mm * 609.6 / 0.0016404199 $ units '600 mm' inches * 23.622047 / 0.042333333 I measured it to roughly 61 cm. So it seems the UK unit data was the correct one. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

I'm sure a lot of American mechanics have memorized that an inch is defined as 25.4mm, so we know 12mm is close to half an inch. We're also familiar with other approximate conversions. For example, almost every 6" ruler I own also shows that distance to be close to 150mm. In my youth, when I was perennially broke, I was the first in the family to own a European car. To save money, I didn't buy a whole set of metric wrenches. I bought only those wrenches that had no close inch equivalent. The best example of a close match is 19mm, which is just a few thousands of an inch different from 3/4". -- - Frank Krygowski |

I have ordered one of their products shipped from Europe. Equivalent lock would be about $20 in the U.S., online. http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product...0052_539262_-1 |

Well, unless it is the same brand and model exactly, there is a hazard people will have different ideas what makes for an "equivalent" product and what doesn't. But if one can come to terms, sure, such a comparison can make as much sense. If so, twenty bucks is considerably less, 58% of the original 289 SEK. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

I was comparing a lock with the same diameter cable, name brand, this one with 5 keys instead of 3 keys. |

It would seem the BBB-41 is the unique identifier used internally as well when they refer to the product. How much do you pay for a 12 mm wire bike lock at AMuzi's, if it isn't a secret? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
